Agreed with Martin.

It is my Opinion, but it might not be a good answer for you.

If the problem space is having a searchable mailing list archive... I think we already have that in place, Right Brian ?

I actually don't know how to search the rust-dev archives without Google's help...

    keeping up with email is a lot easier than pretty much everything
    else, though. the solution to keeping old messages around is
    mirroring the mailing list to a searchable archive, not moving to
    a forum en masse and sacrificing ease-of-conversation for
    ease-of-recall.

        Sorry but that is a pretty bad answer. You cannot tell people
        to change their favorite email client just for rust-dev.

        You cannot do the same with you client, just because each one
        will have to set its own set of rules to tag, ...

        Gmail is a pretty good client, but you have to remember the
        golden rules of email: email is forgotten once it is read. And
        you cannot search on emails you havent received...

        Self hosted forum is good, a good rust management in stack
        overflow is much better. If you know better sites, why not
        making some experiment and then vote for the better one.

            Kevin is correct.

            Where the real issue is that of knowing the capabilities
            of your particular mail client and maximizing it to gain
            forum-like features.

            Many folks use or prefer an online mail client that offers
            threading, labels, archival search, etc.  Which are all
            the same features of a forum that is proposed.

            My suggestion would be instead of jumping to a forum...
            simply learn about or find a more full featured mail
            client if you can.
            If you cannot, then perhaps Gmane could benefit you in the
            same way.

            Users benefit from the developers list and vice-versa...
            splitting us apart would not be a wise choice.
