is everyone happy with the way this forum/mailing list works? thank god
I am not on the mailing list, otherwise I would be seeing so much of
c**p (although, that way I won't be losing track of some the issues that
I am interested in). And I feel sorry for people on the list because I
have myself posted unnecessarily few times (I didn't know that it was
sending an email to many people, I thought I was just posting on the
forum. it struck me very late.).
Can we please have a separation of the two, so people who really wanna
use the list don't have to go thru this torture of the forum?
Actually, the best interface would be the good old usenet. Granted, there
is already usenet-like interface through gmane.org, but that one is read
only. Can we please employ our newsreaders for opensolaris discussion
groups? I would say that, although that might sound a bit strict, if
usenet interface seem too technical for discussions, then most of
OpenSolaris groups would be over your head anyway.
I am reading all this via email (have been doing so since the pilot days)
and being welcomed with some 100+ emails every day (more than 70% to be
removed immediately) is getting tiresome. I can put filters and move
email automatically into various folders, and stuff like that, but my
experience tells me that mail that is not read immediately upon
receiving it, is never read...
It shouldn't be too hard to set an usenet server somewhere. And we can let
google archive it automatically for later peruse :-)
