+1 Regards,From: spam.u...@hotmail.com To: osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2014 14:11:53 +0200 Subject: [osg-users] Proposal: Migrate to a StackExchange like site? Hello, due to my long absence here I've realized that OpenSceneGraph has still this more than awful mailing list system from the early 1990. The forum mirror where I basically failed the captcha verification as I was presented with detecting something that looked like a celtic modification of an A (A was wrong :/) is quite dated too. So I thought about asking whether there is an interest to move the support to a modern (probably better) level. I hope many people already know stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/) and the stackexchange team allows to propose a new site by posting it to http://area51.stackexchange.com/ . When enough interest is generated, the site will be public. I mean come on. This mailing list still posts my own password back to me as plaintext and having the ability to participate at other stackexchanges sites with one account looks quite appealing while gaining a much better way of monitoring OpenSceneGraph instead of being either flooded by mails or getting none. Plus: No ancient mail management anymore.

Hi Sam, This has been discussed a number of times before. Here you have some reasoning of why to use ML/Forum: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=48314#48314 Cheers. 2014-06-16 14:14 GMT+02:00 Sonya Blade sonyablade2...@hotmail.com: +1 Regards, -- From: spam.u...@hotmail.com To: osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2014 14:11:53 +0200 Subject: [osg-users] Proposal: Migrate to a StackExchange like site?

Hello, thanks for the hint. One of the features of SO would have been displaying similar post to reduce redundant mails like this one :/ Regards, Sam Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2014 14:39:33 +0200 From: jtorresfa...@gmail.com To: osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org Subject: Re: [osg-users] Proposal: Migrate to a StackExchange like site?

Re: [osg-users] Proposal: Migrate to a StackExchange like site?
I'm ok with the current system. I do answer OSG questions on stackexchange already. I am fine with more questions over there, but remember that this mailing list isn't just about questions and problems. There are other discussions that go on here too.
