I feel this is a case of trading one group of people (email list users) for a different group of people (web forum users). I have seen this done multiple times over the years, tried to follow a few times, and always dropped off fairly rapidly. I'm solidly in the "email list users" group. Web forums far from fit how I use communication tools. For example, I'm highly keyboard driven and dislike lots of things that force me to use a mouse. I use mutt to read email, which works great. I have email filters to organize and save things, I can flag messages for later review/reference, and more. Web forums also seem in my experience to be much more casual interaction, where people come and go for long stretches of time, much more than email lists. If I just don't click on your bookmark for a day or two, it's out of mind quickly and I might not come back for weeks or months (or ever, which is usually the case). And then even if I do come back, now I'm pretty much too far behind to ever catch up. I guess you're hoping for enough overlap between email and web forum users to keep an active developer community... I wish you luck with that. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
