Hi.
I've been in the mailing list for some time (both fvwm and
fvwm-workers), and also in other mailing lists. It really fills my
inbox, as I believe it does to most of you..
The lists are already separated in two subjects, "general" and
"development", and it indeed helps us to organize things. But I
believe that having a forum would help to further organize things. For
those that are interested in the latest CVS snapshots there could be a
place where they are anounced, and for those who just want to ask for
a feature or inquire about a bug, there would be sections for that
too. Also general questions like "how do I do that" could be in yet
another section.
That way if someone wants to help he wouldn't need to scroll thru lots
of incomming mails to find the one that says "how do I do this" mixed
up with "please add that feature" and "cvs migo".
I currently use gmail, and it really helps to filter things out. But
it's still difficult, so I can only imagine the trouble it is now for
those with "less robust" mail tools. Or worst, for the devs..
Currently "fvwm lair" has a great forum, wich could be used for this.
This is my suggestion, please feel free to criticize (constructivelly
err... so you are suggesting to replace the media that I can view
using whatever my preferred method to view it (using email clients, with
search, threading, folders and virtual folders etc.) with some
predefined user interface of web forum??? Well, if the forums send
emails too it might be acceptable :-)
maybe you need a better mail client:-)
