Am I the only person who finds it difficult to follow a thread in a mailing list where postings get repeated continuously as the thread is replied to (let alone our tendency to post across several lists - mea culpa)?

I’m not suggesting abandoning the lists just using a better tool for a discussion in which we want to engage a lot of people. ______ Steven On 19 Sep 2014, at 02:37, Cameron Shorter <cameron.shor...@gmail.com> wrote: > I would agree on that, to start in the wiki.
