From: "Richard D. Worth" <rdwo...@gmail.com>
Question stands: how will the forum treat each new post? Will it require
constantly logging in to receive new notifications?
No, this is what RSS is for.
Please don't remember anything about RSS, because RSS can't be used for
posting a message to the forum.
If a user is subscribed to 10 mailing lists, then he or she needs to
remember just a single username and a single password, but if he or she is
subscribed to 10 forums, needs to remember 10 URLS and usernames and
passwords, and he or she also will need to get used to use 10 different
designs, so it is not easier at all.
But maybe I am uninformed and there is a way of posting messages to the
forum without log in each time. Is it possible?
I think that a half-solution could be something like:
1. To be able to use an easy to remember address like forum.jquery.org.
2. After visiting that page, to appear a form with a big standard <textarea>
field, and a standard submit button, without needing to login at all.
The login could be done once and the session could be kept for a year or so,
and if the users browsers send a cookie with the appropriate session ID,
they should be considered logged on.
That could be a half of a half of solution, because the users might forget
their password if they don't use it as often as the password for email, or
they could forget the URL and it will take some time to find it, and there
is no solution for getting all the messages from the list with an accessible
RSS client.
Wouldn't be more simple to have an email address on Gmail, that takes care
of SPAM, no matter if it comes from the JQuery mailing lists or from other
sources? (or on another email provider that have a good antispam program?)
I don't know if the JQuery mailing lists were spammed and then manually
cleaned, but I know that I have a Gmail email account and I don't receive
almost any spam, although now I can see almost 1000 spam messages in my SPAM
folder.
