I know this is way OT. But I'm curious, because I thought it was relatively well done - The two negatives that I saw before were (a) when people reply to a message in the forum, it didn't naturally quote the message they were replying to, so people who received the message via email would not know the context around the reply... such as my quoted material of Daniel above ... and (b) it seemed maintenance heavy. Meaning there were a significant (overly significant) number of times that some glitch caused messages posted on the forums to fail to be emailed or vice-versa, and various other reliability problems like that. Were you thinking of these problems when you say it wasn't well done and good riddance? Were you thinking of something else? Even further OT: During my evaluation, I found regroup.com. They host a product for about a third of the cost of jive and other competitors (or you can negotiate a license if you prefer it over a hosted service), and during the test drive, it did every thing I wanted, perfectly. If I were to consider doing something like this again, they'd be at the top of my list to revisit. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
