I don't - to be honest - see why we have to choose one or the other. Surely both forums and mailing lists can be used, with people choosing their favorite. Anything important and urgent enough to demand the immediate attention of all group members could be posted on both the forum and mailing list. It's only a case of cut and paste. > I am all for a discussion forum though and will happily build one if people > will > use it and\or if there are no other volunteers.

UbuntuForums will provide a forum to any LoCo team making a request for one. I for one would prefer to use a forum, but will use a mailing list in conjunction with it. I think this matter is important enough to have proper vote on. Chris -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
