Hi, I think it might be valuable to have a web forum. Not as a different interface to the same community, but as a different community. Perhaps the sort of people that prefer mailing lists and the sort of people that prefer web forums are different after all, and a community that grows up around

Hi. I personally find web-forum a more convenient and structured way of communication. I will help if the forum exports posts or topics as a feed. Are you strictly devoted to phpBB? I think that fluxBB is a decent choice. Just suggesting. On 26.07.10 16:30, Daniel Díaz wrote: I want to open

Cons are being tied to a web site, anonymity, existence of moderators, etc. Seems a bit like spreading the communi

I agree. A web forum would be more friendly to newcomers, easier to browse, and better organized, than the mailing list. Some people will still prefer the mailing list of course, but I think there will be enough demand to justify a forum :) - Job On Mon, Jul 26, 2010 at 9:57 AM, Daniel Díaz w
