I think the archive has a wealth of information. It would be great if it was organized such that, it was very easy to search for the needed information. In fact a lot of the documentation needs would be reduced if only the archive was better organized. Some of the things that could be done is classification of information in the archives, having a single solution page for a question that has been asked multiple times, maybe requiring a certain template for all posts made to the list, so that the posts could be more easily classified etc.

I think it's a tribute to the quality and utility of Struts that there are so many subscribers and participants to the list. I have found very few threads on the list that are not useful or at least interesting. I admit, however, that at times I am overwhelmed and just have to delete 100 messages and pick up the conversation from there. -----Original Message----- From: Jonas Bj�rnerstedt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 7:02 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: all this traffic I don't think high traffic lists are efficient for several reasons: - Questions are repeated, partly because it is hard to find the answers in the archives. - One reason why there are a lot of questions is that documentation is lacking. What I wanted to suggest was one method of collecting answers in a cheap fashion. - I realize that pressing delete is easy. The cost of pressing delete however is missing all the relevant discussions. - High traffic can also make people rude.
