*I* suggest moving to forums as *I* think it's better way to exchange the info than those 90-tish, Mailman powered, mailing lists where you can't even search for posts or whatever.
Personally, ever since switching to gmail which handles lists using tags and has excellent searching capabilities, I far prefer lists over forums/boards. However, I think it's sort of silly to have to chose at all. Mailing lists and boards are so similar, there's no reason you can't just have both. For instance, there is a plugin for phpBB that allows people to sign up to the board and treat it like a mailing list. Of course, since mailman is probably a better mailing list handler than phpBB, it would be better to have some sort of web-based interface to the mailing lists (still handled by mailman), accessible through linuxaudio.org. Anyone know of a good solution for that? By the way, there is at least the risk that web-accessible forums will increase spam risks. Usually requiring registration helps with that, but I don't know if its enough. Steve
