Re: Can we move the use-list to a Google Chat

[Richmond]

"I was raised with a computer, with facebook for my friends and google 
as my study guide."


That, presumably, makes you aged between 16 and 21 . . .

Not all of us feel 100% comfortable with Google's octopus-like grip on 
various things.


Nor, for that matter, do we see Facebook as the B-all-and-end-all 
(although I use it extensively

for communicating with the children I teach).

The use-list may be "retro", but that is not necessarily a bad thing: it 
also is really useful when
I need to read it on my Macintoshes that run systems 8.1 and 9.2 using 
Netscape 2.


"massive,unindexed, scattered, blob"

Well: as Google lover, all you really need to do is go to Google 
Advanced Search and type "Livecode"
in the first line, and whatever you're looking for in the second line, 
and press the Return/Enter key,
and "magically" all the refs in both the Use-List and the Forums will 
appear.

It isn't hard. Filter the emails into a folder in your email client, or 
subscribe to the digest instead if you only want a single (large-ish) 
email per day. The digest is a compilation of all posts in the last 
24-hour period.


If you see something you want to respond to, hit "Reply" and start 
typing, then send the email. It will go to the list. If you are replying 
to a digest, please do remove all the posts except for a short exerpt 
from the one you are answering. Some of the digests can get large and 
you don't want to quote all of it.

It works very well for all of us who are here. This has come up many 
times in the past and the listserve lives on. We like it.


Nabble has been mentioned if you need to search. There's a duplicate 
archive at Gmane as well, with a slightly different interface:



Some of us save snippets of useful material in a LiveCode stack, or text 
files, or whatever system they prefer. For retrieving old info I didn't 
save, I generally hit Nabble.


I depend on the list for the fastest responses possible because not only 
is someone always awake and reading it, but most of the pros are here 
and they often have answers to fairly obscure problems. I read the 
forums via its email digest because that comes to my mailbox as well. I 
never visit the forums unless I see something in the digest I want to 
answer.


I don't have time to actively peruse a web site, and web sites are far 
slower to navigate than emails, even with a fast connection (which not 
everyone has.) Basically, if the info doesn't come to me, I won't see it.

Folks:
I’m on my email several times a day. The first category I check are the 
postings from this listserve. It’s within my flow. When I go to the forum, I 
see a bunch of topics. I only go to any that I’m interested in and it’s pretty 
rare that I go there except for a topic I’m following.

The listserve posts I see are often surprising, offering information I didn’t 
know I needed. That’s what I like about it.

I would miss this listserve.

Re: Can we move the use-list to a Google Chat

[stephen barncard]

Us old timers have been having this discussion for years.Some of us
have been on the same kind of listserv since Apple ][ days. It seems to
work.
This list's success is directly related to it's serial nature.
We're all in the same room, and we get exposed to a lot of things that
would be missed otherwise.

William, I suggest you get a good mailer that works for you and try
handling this list that way.
Gmail is always good with the best spam filters in the business.

FWIW I don't see this as an XOR operation, but an AND.

Some like the categorized, searchable forums.

Others like the continuum flow of this list, searchable in Nabble:
http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/

Others like FB:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/livecodeusers/

...or G+:

https://www.linkedin.com/groups/50811

(With LinkedIn being the premier professional space in social media, 
home to many budding software entrepreneurs, please consider joining 
that group and adding a post there now and then to raise its visibility 
there.)


And some love IRC.  I know a good many people who spend lots of time in 
IRC, and a lot of major FOSS projects who use it for meetings - and of 
course we have a LiveCode channel there, on freenode:

https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#livecode

There were a couple Slack groups too, but I'm not sure if they're active 
- anyone have a URL for those?


Communities grow organically around whatever communications channels the 
members enjoy.


All are indexable content, so all venues benefit all of us using LiveCode.

That.  Listserves are in the mail that is part of our normal workflow,
while a board is an independent destination.

I'm not even sure how many list serves come to my mail, but it is ar more
than I would be willing to have separate applications./windows/tabs for . .
.

If something comes through with a question I can answer, I can answer it
then, not later when I go to a site (or whatever).

And with all of us doing this, we frequently have critical answers in
minutes, not days  . . .

I get the inability to search the archive for n00bs.  That's a problem.
For those of us who receive these messages in one of our google accounts,
it isn't a problem.  In my case I have a hair under 13,000 threads that I
have received since my arrival in the LC community. I wonder if Edinburgh
has something resembling a searchable index for the n00bs, though.

Re: Can we move the use-list to a Google Chat

[Skip Kimpel]

Same here. -1 for Google Chat.  I much prefer a listserv for the same
reason Matthias referred to as it is quick and easy to respond to using a
tool (email) that is in my face 24/7.

Re: Can we move the use-list to a Google Chat

[Matthias Rebbe]

Google Chat would be a NoGo for me.

My mail app is opened all the day anyway, so the mailing list is the best 
solution for me.
I know that the forum is also a good source of help and knowledge and i am 
trying to visit it as often as possible.
Just today i installed an RSS reader to be up to date with new forum posts. 
But the mailing list will be my number one source. 
Why, because i can read and respond very quick and easily.

Google Chat or any other web based system would stop me to participate in 
discussions or at least it would stop me to participate regularly in 
discussions.

But that´s just my opinion.

Re: Can we move the use-list to a Google Chat

[Dr. Hawkins]

I should certainly hope not.

listserves and boards are fundamentally different in how people interact.
Moving lists to web generally causes *massive* loss of membership and
participation.

In a professional organization I belong to, it resulted in an independent
mailing list, and would likely have caused turnover of the board at the
next election, except the responsible leadership backed down in the face of
the revolt and restored our listserv.

Can we move the use-list to a Google Chat

[William Jamieson]

I was raised with a computer, with facebook for my friends and google as my
study guide. I don't really understand the use-list's format and have only
attempted to read it maybe 5 times in the 2 years I have been on it.

Forums are great but still remind me of my childhood and are generally used
for specific issues. I would really like a Slack thread that can be
indexed, but to ask people to move away from email might be a little too
technological for most.

As a person who wants to be involved with the community, and seeing that
the answers to a lot of problems and issues are contained in this massive,
unindexed, scattered, blob, of words that spans thousands of emails in my
inbox, I would like to make a plea to use any alternative that works.

I understand that the use-list is for the OG's but let me ask you, at what
cost is it acceptable? Even for the OG's, let me ask you, how many
solutions pointers to the problems you have had do you think are contained
within the history of the use-list? Can you pull them up quickly in an
organized fashion?
