Now that I am hosting the FlightGear web site with a commercial hosting
service, it becomes quite easy to setup online "forums" using phpBB2.
I know our development culture is built around mailing lists. I'm sure the
FlightGear community will be decisively split between forums versus mailing
lists if I ask people's preferences ... so I'm not expecting a consensus
here. Is this anything that is worth exploring? Is it worth having both
options available? Would end user support benefit from forums? Would
forums be useful for those that have trouble with sourceforge's spam
blockers? A backup communication mechanism for when the sourceforge email
lists experience their inevitable down time?
Thoughts?
Curt.
