My 2 cents if I may ...
Although I love this list and this is the official Lift list and
support I think it is important to also have other wiki's, forums etc.
out there. Personally I don't see this as a community split. More and
more people are becoming pretty knowledgeable with Lift Scala
Once again, I don't see how you can discuss it until you know that David's fine
with it.
Personally I haven't read any concrete benefit (I don't know what take the
load off or get more sites out there mean practically) that isn't available
now between the list an the wiki---certainly not to
I really don't like Google Groups because it's a mess. Posts on here
are hard to read and unorganized. I'm typing this post right now and
I don't have any options for formatting. I think we should have a
forum for Lift to get more people interested. When I first saw this
group here on google,
What? ... Is there on ONE forum about Java, Scala, Spring, Rail
etc? ... did all Java forums needed James Gosling approval ? .. Come
on .. So yes people can talk about it make they own
wikis,forums,blogs ... internet is free you know. I have tons of
respect for David and this community and I
I agree with marius.

I agree. I can't imagine starting something like this without first
approaching David.
Having said that, and pehaps contradictorily, I welcome any
initiatives that will further Lift/Scala.

Just my two cents, but I think establishing a separate forum at this
point is a mite premature. What problem, exactly, is it that we're
trying to solve?

I agree that it's kind of silly to talk about DPP's approval. This isn't
source code related. Anyone can establish any forum he or she wants to,
and if someone wants a separate Lift forum . . .
The question, then, in my mind is whether adding a forum adds some
needed capability (or
More than 1300 people? Really? Wow. Well, then maybe a second forum
isn't premature. Man, I had no idea. When did that happen?

The problem is that this Google Group is not user friendly and not
organized. I think it will be better to have a user friendly forum
where everything is organized according to its category and easily
accessible. This group is hard to find and hard to search.

We recently went through such a debate at work trying to decide
between web forum vs mailing list and the end result for us at least
was it depends. A lot of this is all highly subjective, there is no

I'm not really sure how splintering the community is going to help.
I feel the google group has been fine.

Agreed (and +1) - Personally I actually prefer mailing lists full stop
because it involves no web site trawling to get to the topics one is

I applaud Artem's initiative!
The mailing list has undoubtedly been an extremely helpful resource.
That said, a mailing lists in general have several short comings:
- Hard to search through
- Many duplicate questions
- No stickies
- No syntax highlighting and few formatting options
- Little to
The lift community is not huge. It's David Pollak's brainchild, and I don't see
how you can discuss creating a forum (after the fact) without his okaying it.
How can you compare it to an IRC? A forum fills much of the same purpose as the
list, much more than IRC.
