This is debatable. Google Groups require a Google account, are not controlled by python-dev, require JavaScript to view the archives, don’t send MIME digests. The public archives for python.org MLs are indexed by Web search engines and are therefore searchable.
Re: thread subscription, there is a setting about topics in the mailman admin but I don’t understand it. I suppose a good email client can do something equivalent. > Community can perfectly manage the stuff without dedicated admins if > there is a gameplay in it. I don’t agree with the split between admins and community. Admins are just trusted people from the community (which includes python-dev). > My advice - subscribe people editing page by default (a checkbox near > submit button). +1 wholeheartedly. >> With an admin team behind it, you can also make more use of ACLs to >> flag certain parts of the wiki as "official" by making them only >> editable by certain people I don’t know if this would be noticed enough to change the image of the wiki. I had started reviewing and updating all pages pertaining to distutils and distutils2 some months ago, and I viewed the wiki as a collaborative area to hash things out, before they can become official code or docs.
