Thanks for everyone's feedback. As most people agree with the move to 
the forum, I'll close this list soon. That means the list will 
technically still exist, but nothing new can be posted. I'll post a 
description to the forum describing how to 'subscribe' to it, i.e. how 
to use it like a mailing list.

Regards
  Daniel

I felt like mailing list is used more by developers and users writing to
the forum.
I personally prefer mailing list, but I understand if maintaining both is
too much work.

You can also do that with a forum, as you can get everything you're 
interested in via mail too.

Re: move mailing list to forum?

I find a mail list a better solution generally: you can archive
threads/messages that you deem relevant and delete ones that you deem
irrelevant. In a forum, you are at admin’s mercy, and virtually in all
forums I know, threads are not deleted even when they are obsolete.
Thus, a forum accumulates tons of information that eventually become
just garbage.

Really? Then what is _much_ to you? Among the mail lists I am
subscribed to, this list is one of the most active.

Of course, I am not an active participant/contributor and my opinion
can (and, probably, should) be ignored, but, please, if you decide to
shut down this list, don’t do that instantly and leave at least a
month. I have a question about making a rule, which I would like to
post here, but the question evolves as I acquire some more knowledge
digging in this list’s archives, so give me a chance.

Best regards,

Dmitri Gabinski

move mailing list to forum?

[Daniel Naber]

Hi,

there's not much traffic here on the list. Some discussions happen on 
the github bug tracker, some happen at http://forum.languagetool.org. I 
suggest closing this mailing list and using our web forum instead. This 
should help against fragmentation of discussions.

You can follow the forum by email or by reading its RSS feed. What you 
cannot do is post to the forum by sending an email, you'll have to visit 
the forum for that. We probably wouldn't migrate to the forum in the 
sense that mailing list subscribers automatically get subscribed to the 
forum, they'd have to sign up at the forum by themselves. We could add a 
"development" category at the forum if needed.

Any thoughts?

Regards
  Daniel
