Correct, TYPO3 is a CMS (also FOSS GPL2+) and the integration is indeed not part of the CMS.

- Original Message - From: Jan Steinman j...@ecoreality.org Subject: Re: forum vs email [was: Re: table-for-column] There actually seem to be a lot of these around. I'm on several that send me email when there are new forum postings. Yes, that bit is pretty standard functionality; but usually they're little more than a notification that something was posted, maybe the first few lines of a post. I want: * The entire post, and as little notification-type content as possible, * headers and subjects so that mail clients that support threading will thread everything from a single forum topic in a mail thread and vice versa, * and, most importantly, the ability to also *reply* through mail and have it appear in the forum thread at the appropriate place in the conversation Those things are what would make it a proper mailing list integration, instead of just another notification tool. -- Unhappiness is discouraged and will be corrected with kitten pictures. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql

Re: forum vs email [was: Re: table-for-column]
I have been a resident of this list for a very long time. In the early days, this was the only place to get reliable information about what was then a relatively obscure database system. Now, local and online bookstores have shelves full of books, many of them authored by list regulars. We have expert forums which have become more more mature and tens of thousands of example projects readily accessible on github and Google code. And, lest we forget, as the product and the documentation matured, fewer desperate situations arose. The list of not such a critical last resort as it once was. It's true that the list lost a lot of steam after the Oracle acquisition and Monty's rants had a polarizing effect. Since then, it has been low traffic with few threads of much interest. In spite of the rapid rise of NoSql, managed instances of MySQL on a cloud have become a major commodity. The relational model is not dead and reliable implementations will always be in demand.

2014/12/04 22:56 -0500, shawn l.green I guess this email-based peer-to-peer exchange is slowly disappearing into the background like the old usenet newsgroups, eh? And _I_ like using an off-line e-mail client, and not being bothered by going through a webbrowser--but I suspect that others prefer not to have an e-mail client, and prefer to have the freedom to use small, sophisticated gadgets instead of bigger gadgets that sit on the table, or take most of a lap. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
