Hi Bob,

one reason i think people fire at the list first, perhaps, is that
mailman is a bit difficult to use for finding data. i find the mailing
list as-is difficult to search, esp for noobs, and sometimes even for
oldies like me. hence, that's why i mirror the osg list (as of a year
or so ago) on a google group. i think it makes things a lot more
accessible, and easy to search and find answers:

 http://groups.google.com/group/osg-users

GMane is nice for searching:

http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.graphics.openscenegraph.user

and I think it has posts from further back than that google group. (don't pay attention to the graph on the linked page, it's out of date, but the posts in their archive are almost to-the-minute accurate)

I think the gmane link is on the mailing list page on the Wiki, so people will probably go there first, which I think is a good thing. I definitely agree that mailman is abysmal for searching.

J-S
