Hi all,
have found out today that there is another Ingres mailing list besides
[EMAIL PROTECTED] / comp.databases.ingres, see here:
http://opensource.ingres.com/projects/ingres/lists
What do you think: is it really a good idea to split the small Ingres
community into several pieces (keep in mind that there additionally is a
web-based Ingres forum now...)?
I think it stinks and said so quite a long time ago. We don't have an
Ingres community yet, and having three or four splinter groups ensures we
never will. As far as I am concerned comp.databases.ingres is technically
the best and most versatile medium, with the largest number of informed
contributors. The other forums are dominated by people asking (and
repeating) fairly elementary questions which I just can't be bothered to
answer because the web-based format is so laborious and cumbersome. c.d.i.
also has an archive of over 35,000 articles.
I think you are spot-on Gerhard. Let's petition to get all the traffic at
least mirrored on c.d.i. I know there are people who can't get an NNTP
feed but Google Groups carries c.d.i just fine.
