Hi Guys, I've added the googlegroups archive to the lists of archives, alongside the existing links to gmane and mail-archive. I've also reorganised the archive links so it's right alongside the link to the list subscription rather than a separate paragraph. It's worth note the mailman archive was not linked to from the mailing lists wiki page, only the better alternatives, despite this people still on occassion use the sucky mailman archives. The saying "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink" applies here.
And.... there's another point. Lots of talking on this thread but actually not too much action. Who ended up fixing the wiki pages and doing the actual support rather than just talking... there is plenty done by users on support, updating the wiki, fixes bugs etc which is really appreciated, but alas what is needed is more of this community spirit, other members of the community to take on specific responsibilities. Ideally we'd have people or sets of people who could be the ones responsible for all things wiki, all things windows platform support, all things OSX support, all things unix support, all things stable release support, active server admin etc. We have lots of people doing stuff when time is available, but it remains very much on a adhoc basis. Because it's so adhoc I have to try and follow far too many topics so that I catch stuff that would otherwise fall through the cracks, I have to spread myself way too thinly with me working all hours just to keep things on an even keel. Having myself be responsible for too many aspects of the project simply isn't viable, burnout is a real issue, both physically and mentally. It's also not good expertise wise - I just don't have good skills in all the required areas, and as I said in my previous post multi-tasking reduces your intellectual abilities, doing what I'm doing is making stoopid, and really don't want someone who's gate keeper of the source who's mentally impared. So.... better search engines, better docs yep all helps, but in the end it's just tweaking things, it's not addressing the real problem - the projects over dependence on me carrying the ball for too many aspects of the project.
