I don't really care about which form is used for user support.
If passers-by prefer a web-based forum, then this *may* be the
better choice. (But also consider that someone has to do the
support. These are to a certain degree developers, so even here
it's not unimportant what those prefer. Unless

No.
Is it worth having both options available?
Not that I knew.

For FlightGear developers.
I think a good idea keep development discussions into mailing lists, because
this way is driven to developers only.
Maybe with a forum, questions with no relevance, help developers give no
focus to important development questions.

Hi Curt,
I prefer the mailing list. I think there are much tot little
contributions for splitting the topics in a forum (how many contributors
we have?). Up to now it's no problem to have the survey of all
contributions. If someone prefer the thread-sorted view: we have it on

I'm just fiddling around and anything can be changed, but here is a first
whack.

As Dave said we can setup any structure of categories and forums. Right now
I've created one category with all the forum topics inside, but we could
certainly split things out
