Nah, mailing-lists work just fine. It's just a question of being organized. In most cases, it's like a football game. Spectator sport, pass the chips, and oh ? actually save that diff somewhere, try it out and report back to the list/the corresponding developer ? no way, too much work ! So, get off your lazy asses, and start trying out stuff (not speaking for you, Alexey, just speaking for our user community in general) For crying out loud, it's not as if interesting *technical* threads kill those mailing-lists. When there's too much tech chatter going on, then we can worry about better tools. Don't blame the tools. Blame the *people* who don't test.
