Just to confuse the issue :-) I've found a much more useful forum for design discussions to be a Wiki web. We have been successfully using one for nearly a year now and have the best documentation for our design work that I have ever experienced. The reason is that it is possible to re-factor the discussions, after decisions are made, into the design document without all the contradictory multithreaded discussions to confuse the reader. We use Twiki which also has version control so the original discussions are still there for historical purposes. Of course, it requires a level of trust and responsibility on the part of the contributers. As to web forums. One that allows either web or email participation would help get more people involved. To split it across two seems very wasteful to me. brian wallis... ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
