I agree. Nabble is a fantastic serivce. As far as the argument in support of a forum, I don't see a strong case here myself. Apache projects are some of the most respected and widely use software packages from small IT shops to Fortune 500 companies. The lack of a forum hasn't hindered their sucess. Also, the cost and maintanence of supporting a forum is likely much higher given the volume of traffic that Apache receives. If your company uses open source software as a key component of its business infrastructure or in one/many of its products, perhaps policies should be more aware of the need to access Apache mailing lists. Finally, if you register with Nabble, you needn't look at it as a one way archive. Nabble supports posting to mailining lists as well.

It's basically a forum, isn't it? Cheers, Colin
