That means Fedora Forum is from a long time ago when Fedora was just starting up. At that time things were being set up in a more confederated method where teams would run the products they wanted. The discussions of mailing lists vs web-something have gone on since 2004 at least. And they branch out into 'you should use slack!', 'you should use irc', 'telegram!', 'USEnet!'

I don't think either side really can formulate things any more than a left handed person can say why they are left handed versus right handed.. one method works better for their brain and the other doesn't. Does it work perfectly? No but the other method is like using a tool which always feels wrong. You might be able to learn to use it but it always itches. Trying to explain it beyond that comes down to things like 'well it must be superior because I work better on it!' versus 'well my brain likes to categorize things in this visual method and your brain uses that method.' And then a bunch of people try to come up with a tool which works for everyone but find out that the larger the net, the bigger the holes. Roll around 2-3 years and we will see another version. -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
