Hello all,
I've been thinking about this since joining RLUG. For the last few
years I've been using web-based forums/message boards such as phpBB:
http://www.phpbb.com instead of mailing lists, or in conjunction with
mailing lists (i.e. SpamCop).
For me, forums are easier to follow, work with and find information in
when compared to mailing lists. They are also easier from an
administrative point of view when it comes to maintaining and
retaining data. They do have a downside when it comes to being behind
a hardcore HTTP proxy that won't let you access them, but some folks
have similar issues with external email accounts in the enterprise as
well.
What does everyone think about the possibility of adding a forum
feature to rlug.org?
You can have your cake and eat it too.
Check out mail2forum: http://www.mail2forum.com/wiki/Main_Page
It is a bridge between mailing lists and phpBB forums so they are tied
together.
I've never tried it, but the concept is great.
Regards,
John
