But I believe that some of the support requests by prof. licencees and others to [EMAIL PROTECTED] could be avoided if the list was reorganized to allow for a better overview of the debate.
Either a compleete remake or a supplementary/double strategy.
It would, as I see it, be a good idea to change the list to a Forum.
The concept and princip could still be the same: Free and open for all, and RunRev answering questions/taking part in the debates and announcing as now.
The case is that Revolution has developed into a much more mature product and has a much broader appeal than could be said about MetaCard 2-3 years ago. And therefore the list-concept first adopted by MetaCard and then continued by RunRev is now outgrown.
IS THE ARCHIVE NOT SOLVING THIS?
We have used the archive all the time - but it is not as good as a forum. It does retain treads, but a lot could be said against the way it acutally works.
A forum could be organized in chapters (the right word?) Some examples: -Installing -Graphic formats -Multimedia ---Movie ---Sound -Scripting ---sub issue ---sub issue ---sub issue etc. etc.
And within each chaptor and its sub issues the users will start and add to threads.
Examples http://forums.macosxhints.com/ http://www.macfixitforums.com/
One solution is to take a Mac OS X based Mac or a Linux based Intel computer and install one of the open source systems:
I would suggest having a look at: http://www.phpbb.com/ or http://www.vbulletin.com/ (vbulletin is not free but only USD 160 and supported and used by many)
But many more can be found at: http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=309
If there should still be a whish for a list system, then it could be set up to e-mail all new entries to those subscribing.
