I agree with Cassidy: Hangouts makes it easier to catch people like Dan and get a quick reply. The IRC-memo-system was just a humongous and ugly hack that didn't worked out. It's a good (but not perfect) thing between writing a actual mail and dropping a message to IRC.
The mailing-list itself is also quite horrible: You have to join Launchpad, work around those annoying anti-spam measures, join the LP group and the navigation in the Archive has a horrible interface and needs a few minutes to update itself. G+ provides at least a half-way working way of seeing replies (well, it depends on having all replies in a list instead of a tree / needs to execute JS to view plain-text / also closed source). I'm still looking forward the elementary.io-service that allows to use Jabber (is that still planned?) - Raphael 2014-03-26 21:13 GMT+01:00 Cassidy James <cass...@elementaryos.org>: > Sergey, > >> That isn't to say that we're not using IRC or the ML anymore, but if >> you're wondering why they are much quieter, now you know.
