Hi Mark and the gang!
I vote for a FAQ. While I find that this list is quite well-behaved as
to signal-to-noise, there's also a problem with recurrent questions. So,
the traffic is uncomfortably high.
The advantage of a mailing list is that people in the know lurk around
and you get qualified answers. On a newsgroup, you get lots of free-porn
messages. On a forum, you get a sore finger.
But anyhow, you don't have to trust my opinion or tastes. This is open
source: if you like the idea, go ahead and make the web forum! I'm sure
we'd all be happy if it served us novice users.
Un saludo,
Alex.
