Hi, Interesting discussion.... I do prefer a good organised forum above a mailinglist:
- better overview - better searchable - quicker to read - less mail - possibility to give likes As a newcomer here, it is hard to find previous information. Even on externals.io. That signing on to the mailinglist is a little difficult is an advantage for a list like this and at the other hand should not be a problem for a developer...;-p But Github would not be my choice for a forum.
