What does that help?Judging from myself, users don't like to have to subscribe to mailing lists, especially when they don't need the list on a daily basis. E.g. I would hate to get every question and answer in the Spring forums as mail. I'd much rather check the forums every once in a while.
Use Gmane ;) I am too lazy to always go and check forums. With the tagging approach you would only have to really subscribe once. ...and as I said - having feeds would be awesome.
I hate the fact I always have to subscribe to forums and never liked the interfaces.You misunderstood: Patrick told me that the 'special' feature of the system that they use at OpenQA is that it can be used both as a mailing list (e.g. for the developers) and a forum (for the users if you want). Therefore, you'd register at a mailing list just as before and have nothing to do at all with the forum-view, but users could instead use the forum (and thus won't get all the - for them - noise). And the system automatically maps between the mailing list and the forum.
I think what you are basically saying is you want a poll not a push service. IMO feeds are much better for that than a forum. But of course you could combine all these things. cheers -- Torsten
