I think we should consider people who actually read their list email,  
too
(myself being one of them, as it happens). With email, you get  
notification

automatically, one could say.

IMHO, authentication of email is so good, either. Original beauty of  
email

was that everyone could write to you. If you want authentication, go for
IM.

first. Forums are much more efficient in searching by subject, body,
poster, date, etc.

2) Organisation. Beside major groups like bugs, devel, user, most  
forums
provide sub-groups allowing to segregate a group in several major  
areas

(e.g. Development-Web Interface, Development-Core, etc)

3) Traffic. I'm an Internet Ecologist(tm) and I strongly see the  
mailing
list traffic as a totally useless bandwidth nuisance, mostly  
because when
someone subscribes to a mailing list he reads everything the first  
week,
the second week he deletes without reading, the third week he  
creates an

automatic folder rule and never reads most of the content ever again.

Spam moderation is not so much of an issue, as long as you have to be
authenticated to post, and being part of  several dozens of forums  
I never

seen any spam in them.

That's my 0.02$ advocacy, hope it helps :-D

IMO It would be great if you consult the Kannel project
maintainers and have their views about it, so that you can
have official forums just like the mailing list

yes, I agree that the they should be on the kannel site
hosted on a subdomain or something like kannel.org/forums

The only problem with forums is that they also need to

 IMO It would be great if you consult the Kannel project 
 maintainers and have their views about it, so that you can 
 have official forums just like the mailing list
 
 yes, I agree that the they should be on the kannel site 
 hosted on a subdomain or something like kannel.org/forums
 
 The only problem with forums is that they also need to 
 closely moderated because of spam and other useless messages 
 that people often post

  Would people see the mailing lists as redundant if there were web 
  based
 forums?
 
 well both can serve the purpose, at times mailing lists are 
 better and 
 sometimes forums.

 What do other people think about the possibility of having a 
 web forum?
 Would people see the mailing lists as redundant if there 
 were web based 
 forums?
 
 As far as the name / location - could it be put under kannel.org, 
 either as being hosted there, or using a sub domain 
 (forums.kannel.org?) pointing elsewhere?

 Bill.

   I am ready to register and host the forums if members here can 
   recommend a domain for the same. I posted earlier also however no 
   commented till now.

   Hey,
  
 I think it would be a good idea. Who is going to take 
 the lead on 
   this?

   I don't think that they will be too resource intensive form 
   hosting point of view, so It should not be a problem 
 for anyone to 
   set them up.
   Yeah I will be willing to help :)

I have thought about this many times myself. Can anyone suggest a domain
name ? I will register it and put up the forums on one of my server. I
would like to volunteer to host the forums for kannel.
