Just my 0.2 in order to contribute to the ongoing discussion: I think that there're advantages to both approaches, forum and mailing list. The main advantage of a mailing list, especially for people using Gmail like me, is that emails are searchable in a much simpler and easier way than a forum. Searches are most likely to be faster, because they're local to the user instead of being queries to the forum database.
Forums, on the other side, provide a much easier categorization, backup, structure. Most advanced forums allow you to receive emails only for topics of interest and they allow to have a much easier view of the whole discussion(something that emails will *never* be able to provide). Emails have the advantage(as someone said) to be blind friendly, surely much more than an Ajax forum. Ideally, some respected member of the JQuery community may take over the management of the group or having a "JQuery SWAT", so to say which will delete spam messages. Ideally, the forum could provide an NNTP interface as well. Best Regards, Andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
