If we're getting this on the road, I propose the following: - Structured view is a must. - Community moderation based on some sort of karma/reputation system. - Full sync between the mailing list and the forum interface: - Messages here should be posted there by a bot in the name of the author here. - Messages there should be posted here. If formatting is available in the forum, it should be converted to markdown before being posted here.
However, like I said on the original post, as long as the community itself doesn't change or adapt, this is a very good way of wasting everyone's time by polishing crap.
