Howdy Launchpad-dev! I'm not subscribed to this list, so I would very much appreciate it if you would keep me CC'd to any responses. And I'm CC'ing Barry, as I discussed this with him in IRC and he suggested that I post these questions here :-)
I'm curious if there are any general (even long term) intentions to augment Launchpad's mailing lists features? I've been thinking about this recently for two reasons: 1) I've subscribed to a couple of Google Groups in order to communicate with some upstream open source communities. I've really found the user experience to be quite outstanding, actually. Searching threads is really effective, it's nice that it supports voting responses up/down, one-page threaded display, easy to subscribe/unsubscribe, lack of spam -- all of which have been quite handy and impressive to me as a Mailman traditionalist and Google Groups newbie. 2) The burden as a Launchpad Mailing List moderator pruning spam became unbearable on some of my mailing lists and at some point and I just simply gave up moderating messages :-( I just started considering the possibility of migrating the mailing lists functionality for some of my projects from Launchpad to Google Groups, but obviously I would much rather keep all of my project hosting functionality within Launchpad. Can anyone speak to the future of mailing lists in Launchpad? Any intentions on improving the archive-browsing interface? What about search? How about tapping into a modern, social-media approach (a la GoogleGroups / StackExchange) in which responses are voted upon? Any chance of ever implementing some server side spam filtering?
