Hi Jan, I hadn't meant creating extra hoops. The idea was that it'd be easier for people looking for OSG answers to find it easily on the StackOverflow answering framework, if everyone on the mailing list shifted to StackOverflow, and so that the moderators of the OSG forum could be spared of the moderating effort.
I'm not advertising for StackOverflow. Just happened to find it after having used OSG-style forums for a long time, and found that their method of rating/selecting answers and being able to add comments below the answers, removed a lot of the pain of having to search for the actual answer from within a long discussion in a forum or a mailing list. While googling for answers, whenever I come across a mailing list page or a forum page, I groan, because I have to keep cliking every subsequent email reply link, searching for that one final email where the answer to my question waits. I haven't ever used a mailing list, but from what you mention, it appears a lot more convenient for people who are using it. Perhaps y'all would have an easy way of going back and finding the answer to the questions you asked on the mailing list, without having to first go through a lot of emails. Thanks for mentioning that mailing lists are faster. I didn't know mailing lists had these advantages. Since you suggested it, I've already recommended my colleagues to try the mailing list. [Still, it'd be nice if there was a teensy little chance that people migrated to StackOverflow :-) ] (p.s: I knew you had sent your message thru the mailing list. People on the forum refer to me as Nav, and people on the mailing list refer to me as Joseph :-) dual identity ;-) ) ------------------ Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=48293#48293 _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
