I'm sure you're not alone, but I'm equally sure that there are many
people like me whose participation would be crippled by any switch to a
forum. And I don't use an emacs mode for my email, nor have I written my
own Lisp.
Given the growth in traffic on haskell-cafe, perhaps offering a forum
*as well* would be a reasonable thing to do. There are now enough people
around that having multiple venues for discussion wouldn't be too
damaging.
+1 for *this*.
Absolutely; I'm sure it's been said in the past that it would be generally
a good thing for someone to set up forums to be used in addition to the
mailing lists.
I'm probably amongst those that won't participate much in the forums
because I find them frustratingly slow to navigate, but I don't see any
reason why we shouldn't *have* forums at all. We just need someone to set
it up and do the admin. Volunteers?
Cheers,
Simon
