I prefer the editing abilities a forum gives over everything else. For example QtProject forum http://qt-project.org has done it really well. They have the possibility to extend the documentation by leaving notes and code examples. Also a whole section to provide snippets.
The thing which I dislike in mailing lists that sometimes for solving a simple issue I need to read the whole chain of emails to catch the one which has the correct and working solution. In the forum it's possible to modify the original question to include the correct answer or even save a separate code snippet in the wiki, which is easy to find if tagged properly. - Saija Ircnet/freenode/matrixx @setelani Lähetetty iPadista > "Christopher Lamb" <christopher.l...@thurweb.ch> kirjoitti 25.5.2014 kello > 18.13: > > Hi Thomas > > Thanks for your input. > > I suspect the whole "mailing-list vs forum" thing will be a matter of taste > and experience.
