Ughm, and so what?! We should be jumping hysterically around new(er) trends in online collaborative communication and use them, just because they are the newest popular thing? Mail just works. > and we would be better served by a pure forum > solution only. No we wouldn't. Mail is convenient for some people, including me. A web forum is awkward and inconvenient. Mail is delivered to me automatically and I can read it whenever I can. A web forum I have to go to and check regularly. It is better for me to use a single, comfortable interface that is my mail client and I'm used to, than some text area / box in a browser, that can't save a draft and I might loose what I've written so far if the browser crashes (happens). I guess it is pretty much the same for everybody who uses the mailing list. Use the forum if it suits you, but my opinion is that mail (and mailing lists) are proven and useful technology that Trisquel should keep using.
