KDE vs Gnome, Emacs vs vi, Linux vs GNU/Linux and now mail vs
forum... one more addition to the ever-growing list of topics that one
can potentially flame about! Yippee!
I have my own views on mailing lists vs forums, which I propose to
keep strictly to myself :)
Anyhow, Mairu has indicated that he's willing to provide a host for a
forums, so let there be forums. Mairu's setting up and configuring
the software, so all we need now is responsible people to manage the
fora.
If you're the type who would love to spend an hour or two each day
moderating the ILUG-Delhi forum(s) on the upcoming site, fighting with
people when their posts are rejected, getting brickbats and curses
(ncurses now!) from everyone, and generally doing stalwart but
unrecognised work behind the scenes, then please raise your hand.
Note: not a job for those weak of stomachs or hearts -- roz laat
khaake gaana gaana padta hai.
