You can assign a filter in your mail program that will move all message from this maillist to a separate folder. In GMail it looks like forum. Of course it is not as intuitive as forum itself, but useful anyway. On Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 8:19 PM, Paulo Silva [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What do you

You should of course keep this list for more in-depth development issues. A forum would be more like a dynamic FAQ for the ordinary users who get stuck on simple things. Plus, often a forum is more easy to read than tutorials because of the social aspect that makes it less boring and repetitive.

What do you all think about a phpbb forum at pygame.org, where pygame coders can share ideas, questions, snippets, in a way some people (like me) used to use this as a more effective and direct way? there are lots of people used to enjoy much more phpbb forums than mailing lists... (even if some

for reading mailing list archives they looks fine, but for posting directly from there i couldn't find where we can post messages... otherwise, i think pygame.org webpage will gain a lot with a phpbb forum into it, maybe may bring more curious about, and sharing some ideas as far they are
