I also have one last suggestion: have you thought of adding a google group
called blue-oblisk and making it an archive group (which is one of the
settings).  Then the content is searchable and directly indexed by google as
well.

I think the whole discussion just started because the
old mailing list was so extremely slow. I agree its better
to have everything in one place. And the pure mailing-list on
SF is fast.

However to get more spin and attract more people
the whole setup must be easy, otherwise it will be just an
exclusive geek club :-) And some users just want to lurk
around instead of subscribing to the mailing-list.

To read for instance the CDK Mail Archive on sf.net is very
stressful. A) Its extremely slow and B) functionality and readability
is almost zero. The Google groups or a PHP Board would just work better.
And there would be no need to get all the list spam which will be
generated
for sure, I am talking about user spam or discussions like this one, where
only a handful of people are interested in. Well, but SF.net it will be.

A last question will there be a WIKI style blue obelisk site, where every
user can edit? For example the http://wiki.cubic.uni-koeln.de/cdknews
CDK News site looks very professional. But the BO site looks very
scattered
and it is hard to find information. But that was agreed here before I
think.
