I've tried out the webbased platform (to complain about FSFE "welcoming" RMS' resignation) but I think mailing lists are much superior to these kind of forums and I would hope that the discussion lists do not move to the web where there's no proper threading, no free choice of editor, and no possibility to get digests. I know that I'm old-fashioned in this respect, but I think for online discussions no better system than Usenet has been invented, but mailing lists are the next best options. Is there any software that could provide a (bidirectional) interface between a webforum and a mailinglist? regards Geza _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list Discussion@lists.fsfe.org https://lists.fsfe.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion This mailing list is covered by the FSFE's Code of Conduct.
