... or here http://osdir.com/ml/lilypond-user-gnu/2012-11/msg00025.html I brought up the same idea as the OP about 2 years ago – I was not the first one. (This was the first link I found (osdir.com), but there are (too) many places to find mails: lists.gnu.org, nabble.com, gmane.org, mail-archive.com, … which most often do not present the thread on one page.) As Urs already put it, this was the reaction: > - only parts of what is discussed here is suitable for SO > - our community is too small to be split up between different forums and I was fine with that. I understand the conservative approach because this mailing list is really good and should not be put in danger. But since then I got an even bigger fan of Q&A sites and the feature of receiving mails on the Lilypond tag my personal main advantage of a mailing list. I would now say: Whoever wants to ask on such a site and whoever wants to answer there should not be discouraged and time will tell, whether that works and whether it makes sense to have this parallel structure (Q&A + mailing list). We already have language-specific forums and other resources and this support list did not break down. My main point is still: You have the question and the answer together with a rating whether that was helpful on the same page – easily findable by search engines. tl;dr: Why not try it out.
