[Mageia-dev] Release cycles proposals, and discussion - messages from the forum

Tue Jun 14 14:52:50 CEST 2011

I agree. Mailing lists are messy and hard to follow. And sometimes the only
+response you get is about how you sent the message wrong. I bet more people
+would use the forums. Only a couple people so far are hooked on mailing
+lists. Im seeing more and more comments coming in about this. forums would
+at least would allow people to follow one version of the discussion instead
+of everyone posting a copy with their reply. And its easier to review past
+messages without sorting through all your emails that practically spam your
+box. People can subscribe to the topics they actually want, and browse the
+messages at their leisure. mailing list might work best for a couple people
+but is it worth inconveniencing the rest of the word because you are a die
+hard mailing list user?
