I'm not from the Hibernate team but, although "the cost to create a users mailing list is essentially nothing", the cost to read and response to it in addition to the forum is very expensive...
They could surely create a user-list but they won't probably listen to it and you won't get any answer... So better to switch to the forum ;) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of bruce Sent: mercredi 22 septembre 2004 23:33 To: hibernate list Subject: Re: [Hibernate] hibernate users list? 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 - - -- Bruce Matt Veitas writes: >You can subscribe to the forums and have an email sent for every post >Then you could get everything in your inbox if you wanted to! > >-Matt > > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> It seems like there's a constant stream of folks posting to this list >> who are actually looking for a users list.
