My vote is to require registration.
It's really no big deal to sign up for a list, and I don't think it
would make getting started significantly harder (newbie here, speaking
from current painful experience -- probably signing up would give me a
buzz of achievement that I'm not yet getting from WiX ;-)

If anyone has any other opinions on this topic, please do make your voice heard. I'm still following this thread and trying to figure out if I should lock non-members out of the list. I'm still very hesitant to do that since it raises the bar for people just starting to get involved with WiX (and we don't need to make anything *harder* <smile/>).

There's still a problem if you prefer to use the newsgroup interface (I'm using Thnderbird). You
can't delete messages, and the best I think I can do is move them into a separate folder. That
might have to suffice if we can't filter them out before they hit the list.

Martin,
I have been thinking the same. I found a post who suggested the
following if you use gmail:
Instead of web-based mail services, just use a good, traditional e-mail client with proper Bayesian spam filter (eg. Thunderbird) and it will eliminate 98-99% of the spam after the initial learning period. It will also adapt to languages other than English, it might take slightly more time (a couple of dozen additional messages) but it will be just fine. You can manually handle the small number of false positives and negatives.
Bye,
Gábor
