The forum option has been discussed multiple times. Let me (once again) throw in my support for it.
pyForum: - Provides working search-ability (sorry Groups still sucks hard in this area) - Allows one to still receive emails - Fills a gap for those of us who want to keep up with the community but don't want an email every 5 minutes. (I'm on digest of the list but a forum would better fit my level of interest/involvement) - Having web2py use it would be dog-fooding and drive the development of both With the mailinglist, there is no good search option for those not using their own email client for search. Remember the Python 3 question? There's a reason it pops up once every 2-3 weeks. Because Google Groups search will not find anything on list after a while and so the question is asked again. There's GMANE but most users don't know to look there and the user interface is not the most friendly. I vote pyForum. -tim On Oct 28, 4:07 am, salingrosso <salingro...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think that we could use something like mailman for the mailing list (but I > must say that for now I hadn't problems with google groups) and we should > have also a forum.
