Forums have the disadvantage that you need to visit a web site when want to reply. In some forums you even have to poll the web site to read what others have written. This doesn't fit into my way of working, which is email-centric (like that of most open source developers). > I see only disavantages.

We even have multiple different interfaces so that you can pick one that you like (in contrast to a forum, which comes with one interface that at best can be customized to look differently).

You can use gmane as a web forum. View a message: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mobile.syncevolution Then use the "Follow up" option in the upper right corner: http://post.gmane.org/post.php?group=gmane.comp.mobile.syncevolution&followup=231 -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. _______________________________________________ SyncEvolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.syncevolution.org/listinfo/syncevolution
