As said 100 times in the list, email is powerful, configurable but needs a lot of configuration (especially hard on mobile) and has a lot of rules (don't top post, reply to the list, don't html, wait, html is alright) whereas a web based alternative is easier to grasp (more modern) but adds more abstraction.
I can't find the link we had explaining the difference between those two, but mailing list is easily searchable and archivable and readable on a terminal. However, providing guis to mailing list is a nice in between to have the better of two worlds. About moderation, what's the problem on the list ? Le mar. 18 sept. 2018 à 10:44, Stephen J.
