Steve, a brave suggestion. This group's traffic has decreased dramatically
in recent years. I presume we're all world-class experts now and don't need
to ask questions that often! A fresh forum with a modern UI and features
sounds quite attractive, as opposed to an old fashioned e-mailing list,
i'll all for the move... maybe we'll get fresh new minds into the
discussion to banter with the dinosaurs

Lol "classic asp.net mvc".
It depends on what the client wants obviously but we've found mvc suits
best for most projects we work on.

It has an email interface which shouldn't have any Javascript at all. This
depends on your email reader, of course, but you don't use Javascript on that
do you?

Some great feedback all.
Given our current lists all have a .Net theme, along with the long standing
history of Aus-dotnet (now Ozdotnet), I like the idea of sticking with the
current Ozdotnet. And as suggested make it clear that any topic is fine,

That does worry me. First, I don't agree with broadening the scope of the
list as it benefits from being niche. Secondly, moving to a new
environment, while exciting, could spell the end of the list as many
spectators won't bother making the move across.

some interesting discussion.
I welcome the move. However, I think most people would jump straight to
their favourite search engines/StackOverflow when they have an issue. So I
think that's part of why this last has become so
True there are many forums and always StackOverflow for getting answers.
But there's only one OzDotNet. We have no competition on that front.

Agreed, the Category tags work well and let you tag something with multiple

We do need to decide as a group of we wish to continue the focus on Aussie

I think it's a good idea to keep the primary function of the elist as it is.
Anyone currently subscribed to the list will be on the replacement. It should
be the same list,
I have no problem with the move. I've been on this list since sometime
around 2003/4. It's probably a bit ironic that a tech focused list is a
bit behind in the tech department.
Suggestions from me:
1. Open it up a bit rather than be focused on .net but make sure its made
clear what category

I've used discord a little (and noticed the slack similarities) but I am not
sure it would replace the elist (our primary goal is to 100% replicate the
current functionality).
I checked and discord has a feature request to implement email integration (2
votes), so I think its a different
Ive been a lurker here for a long time (around 2003). I enjoy the banter and

participate more. Has anyone considered using discord (similar to slack but
free)? I know its mainly a gamer environment but I believe it would

I've been needing to rebuild the current server anyway as its Linux Kernel

If Discourse tags conversations like other typical modern forums, then we
can have lots of easily identifiable sub-topics like .NET, C#, F#, Xamarin,
Android, WPF, VB Sucks, OT, etc.
There are a hell of a lot of forums for IT, far too many I think, so we'll
have lots of competition and will need
It's been some years since the big move to Mr Connors gracious hosting of the

For whatever reason it lives on, despite the low traffic. Perhaps it's the
entertainment value of people who live/vent there. Hard to measure. I expect
David would have a way

I know I don't contribute much but I do support the move although the
move will likely not increase participation in itself.
If you want to increase participation then we will need to promote the
echoes and if at all possible gain some support from generous
benefactors. Getting a web site
