It's only a case of cut and paste.
The concern was about splitting the community into two, since some who favour mailing lists (myself included) will not regularly visit a forum and vice versa. The problem with cut-and-paste is the same problem as cutting and pasting code in a program - it's better to have things in just one place. If you cut-and-paste, the thread will diverge quickly. > [snip] > > Implementation doesn't have to be too hard either. UbuntuForums will > provide a forum to any LoCo team making a request for one.

The preferred suggestion was to use a list-to-forum gateway, and it was mentioned that (at least) one of the other forums on UbuntuForums was already using a suitable system. I don't remember hearing anything after this though. Hwyl, Neil. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
