I'm not very excited about the idea of introducing formatting features
that only users of this web interface will see. Frequent use of such
features would annoy users of other interfaces, and there's the risk of
accidentally activating them.
I've seen quite a few people using it for code snippets anyway, and it's
only a minor thing - I wouldn't want to go any further and allow for
bold/italic/smileys/etc. Accidentally activating them would be a
problem, I think that's a minor risk for this though. Not a major thing,
just something I've always wanted to see ;)
* Does the mailing list have the same restriction as gmane has (no
posting)?
Yes. Clicking on "Create thread" or "Reply" will display a message with
a link to the Mailman page. I could probably implement posting if Brad
says it's OK, but focused discussion groups such as development mailing
lists might actually benefit from a high barrier to entry.
That's a shame, it really annoys me that I can't reply in the same place
as I read currently :(
* Thundrbird has a "mark read" function for
threads/messages/newsgroups - that'd be really useful.
"Mark thread as [un]read" keys should be easy to add. It would also be
possible to mark all posts as read, but not on a per-group basis.
Awesome! Can't wait!
* In the horizontal-split view if you scroll down too far in the
thread you can't see the current thread title, it would be good to
make that sticky until you reach the next thread so you can see where
you're up to
This isn't possible with just CSS. A JavaScript implementation might be
possible. I'll think about it.
Some of us don't have the same reservations as Nick about not using
javascript ;) If it can't be done in CSS it would still be really nice
to have.
Maybe we should just reverse the thread sort order, like for the
"threaded" view?
<moreJavascript>
There could be a "Sort by" option to allow it to be sorted however the
user wants it?
</moreJavascript>
Another one - log in using OpenID so I don't have to remember another
username/password ;)
I'd be happy to if you provide a D OpenID implementation :)
(Last I checked, implementing OpenID from scratch was quite hard)
I doubt I'll get chance in the near future unfortunately. Last time I
looked it didn't seem to hard, I didn't look too in depth though.
