Unfortunately, I think both email and the forums are kind of awful. Possibly a wiki would be better, I don't know. I did get tired of the hundreds of emails every day on jboss-user. If the forum could-- notify you when something new in a forum (not a thread) showed up had a better "next unread" function had a better way of editing answers so a body of correct answers with appropriate detail could develop. I'd be happier with it. Wikis are supposed to be good at the last, but I don't know if they can do any kind of notification or selection for new content. I found a very simple jsp based wiki that just uses files, it works fine with jetty/jboss. It has ___NO___ decoration a la jboss website. Anyone think we should try it? Hmmm. heres another idea for a useful jboss demo... a jsp/ejb/db wiki with notifications and new content navigation. david jencks > > > > _______________________________________________ > JBoss-user mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user > > _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
