Well... I know I'm not pro forum... mail list works well enough... with that said... IF... there is a PmWiki forum someday, I'd leave it integrated with the maillist or switch over to a nntp server with integrated web based forum. I don't want to HAVE to use a browser for forum posting. _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
