Hi Rao, For details about mailing lists ,see http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/mailinglists.htm and the search link on the above URL.
> Is there any reason why Ptolemy-II group is using a mailing list, > instead of regular discussion forum? Many years ago (1992), there was the ptolemy-hackers mailing list. Then we started with a Usenet newsgroup (comp.soft-sys.ptolemy) The Ptolemy-hackers mailing list is gatewayed to comp.soft-sys.ptolemy. Ptolemy-hackers also goes to yahoo http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ptolemy-hackers/ and other places. > Forum has several advantages: > 1. Demand driven rather than data driven I don't agree. If it is not in my mailbox, I'll probably never see it. I know that many people don't read the newsgroup that often, which is why I forward newsgroup items. > 2. Won't fill up the mail box See above. > 3. Searching and reading is lot easy because all the mail headers are > not displayed? Google groups works pretty well here, or try the yahoo group. _Christopher > Thanks > Rao > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Posted to the ptolemy-hackers mailing list.
