I applaud Artem's initiative! The mailing list has undoubtedly been an extremely helpful resource. That said, a mailing lists in general have several short comings:
- Hard to search through - Many duplicate questions - No stickies - No syntax highlighting and few formatting options - Little to no message organization - Few moderation tools A forum could be a nice way to address these issues, so it might be worth a try. Also I think introducing a forum is anymore likely to splinter than an IRC chat room. Just my two cents. -Xavi On Sat, Aug 29, 2009 at 8:22 PM, Timothy Perrett<timo...@getintheloop.eu> wrote: > > > Agreed (and +1) - Personally I actually prefer mailing lists full stop > because it involves no web site trawling to get to the topics one is > after... > > Cheers, Tim > > On 30/08/2009 01:20, "TylerWeir" <tyler.w...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> >> I'm not really sure how splintering the community is going to help. >> I feel the google group has been fine. >> >> On Aug 29, 6:59 pm, Artem <art...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> Hey! >>> >>> I stumbled on Lift a couple weeks ago and have been messing around >>> with it a lot!
