I think a forum would be a great addition to the community for all the reasons that have already been mentioned, I could possibly assist in the hosting as I have a VPS which I use for my "other" line of work, but I would have to figure out all the bits and bobs for setting up separate domains and clients etc.
Bernard I will email you directly with my private email address if you would like to discuss this further.

Gee, if only there were a protocol to handle messages and threading and group hierarchy. People use USE it on a NETwork. I know! We could call it USENET! :-) I'd probably participate *less* if there were only a web forum. >And if you think this is a good idea, do you have any preference for >which forum software to use? Something that provides a good mail-to-forum gateway. Any software that can cross-post in both directions is okay. I'm not against web forums--I just don't want it to be the only thing. >Lastly -- would anybody be willing to provide hosting for such a web forum? If you're desperate in 3-4 months, ask me again. :) >I could set it up at SourceForge's web space, however Internet access >is restricted therefore certain features (like emailing you when >someone replies to your thread) will not be available. That's annoying (but makes sense as an anti-spam measure), I think its less of an issue if the forums can cross-post to the list. > >Thanks, > >Bernard > >----------------------------------------------------------------------- >------- >This SF.net email is sponsored by > >Make an app they can't live without >Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge >http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev >_______________________________________________ >Ganglia-general mailing list >Ganglia-general@lists.sourceforge.net >https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ganglia-general -- Jesse Becker NHGRI Linux support (Digicon Contractor) This email contains confidential information.
