I wouldn't especially mind mirroring the forums to mailing lists (like Yahoo groups basically). But I think putting sword-devel in a public forum would be pretty pointless and generally a bad move. So I'm happy there are technical obstacles to that. If people want to read sword-devel, they can use the archives. If they want to post, they need to join.

I am of the same mind regarding forums. The thinking, at least in my mind, is for them to be a USER community resource-- especially geared toward letting the community _support_ themselves with general questions and sharing ideas about how to _use_ the software.
I had not intended developer communication to move to the forums.
I wouldn't mind mirroring lists like sword-devel to the forums, as Derek suggested, with a gateway, but I don't believe the forum package we're using has a gateway mechanism yet. It's opensource, anyone wanna work on it? :)
Thanks for the opportunity to clear this up.

I'm all for more ways to communicate. However, generally it is a pain in the rear for developers to bounce between a ton of different communication channels and still work effectively. Is there anyway you could produce a gateway to the email list for the different forums? So that those that prefer forums can use forums. Those that prefer email lists can use email lists? But neither has to suffer missing the communicatoin of the other?
