I stand corrected. Apparently you can get email from the forum. However,
the fact still remains that there is a demand for a users mailing list
- - -- as evidenced by the constant stream of posts to *this* list on
hibernate user topics.
Is there any good reason *not* to have a users mailing list? It is
searchable from the web, just like the forum. And I said before, the
cost to create a users mailing list is essentially nothing, and no one has
suggested a reason why not. And it's not as if there isn't a precedent:
Gentoo has forums and user lists:
http://forums.gentoo.org/
http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/lists.xml
python has forums and user lists:
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo
http://www.python-in-business.org/
winmerge has user and dev lists AND user and dev forums
(winmerge is in the top 10 most active sourceforge projects)
http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=13216
http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=13216
openWFE has user forums and lists (also in the top 10)
http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=54621
http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=54621
