having not followed the development/discussion too closely, admittedly,
but regarding "forum vs. mailing list" for the fossil project itself
(and in view of a couple of other comments having some misgivings
regarding replacement of email by forum which I share) I would argue for
running them in parallel for the foreseeable future so people can vote
with their feet (or rather fingers/keyboards) what makes more sense to
them for communication: mailing list or forum.
I could easily envision a situation where the forum option would suit me
fine for personal/small/modest projects where I also would actually
_want_ to keep the whole communication with some colleagues as part of
the project,
and "foreign", bigger ones (fossil, tcl, sqlite, ...) where I most
definitely would
not be interested in doing that and also probably would prefer to use a
mailing list acessed by a reasonable mail client that allows me to
sort/delete/search/flag (and highlight unread) messages etc. more
flexible/better (probably...) than what the forum functionality could
reasonably provide.
