You might prefer forums, that's ok, but your claim that users need to be subscribe to read the Wiki or the Evolution mailing list is wrong. I dislike forums and IRC, but I like Wikis and mailing lists. Anyway, to read a Wiki or the Evolution mailing list archive(s), there's no need to be subscribed. IOW regarding this, there's no difference to a forum. You do not need to be subscribe to read the Evolution mailing list archive(s): https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/ http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.evolution.general You do not need to be subscribed to read the Wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/stable/ Evolution provides a menu called "Help", resp. just push the "F1" key. There's also no need to be subscribed to the bug tracker to read reported bugs. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__all__&content=evolut ion&no_redirect=1&order=Importance&product=evolution&query_format=specif ic Regards, Ralf PS: By accident I send this mail two times from the wrong account. I'm even not sure if there's the need to be subscribed to the list, to write to it. My apologies, assumed the other two mails should come through too. Some mailman lists allow to cancel such posts instead of waiting for moderation. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
