Hello,
I would like to let the community know that there is a new web-based
forum for Python enthusiasts over at PythonForum.org (http://
pythonforum.org). Web-based forums is a preferred method by Python
newcomers to get help in exploring the world of Python and programming
overall. The main goal of PythonForum.org is to popularize Python by
welcoming all newcomers. Recently the forum got "attacked" with
questions by users just starting out with Python. I hope here will be
someone ready to welcome and help newcomers to enter the beautiful
world of Python.
I fully agree with the feedback, that creating a new forum is not such
an excellent idea. currently the critical mass seems to be here and I
appreciate this a lot.
However, whether we like it or not:
Fewer and fewer newcomers are willing, knowledgable, aware of nntp
If you think, that newbies are unlikely to use nntp, then create a
forum, web front end or whatever, which looks very nice and cool, which
will automatically relay messages (forward and backward) to this group.
You mean like this?
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.general
I use gmane via nntp (news.gmane.org port 119) but, as the link above
shows, there are threading problems.

In my opinion new forums should integrate nntp and not try to replace
it.
An nntp gateway on just another server is also not as nice as just
communicating with the existing feeds.
I'm don't know what "communicating with the existing feeds" means.
