[Freeswitch-users] How about a USER FORUM and kill off the mail list?

[Chris Mylonas]

i think the mailing list work well.
i think the mailing list works very well when used in conjunction with IRC.

this thread has started to get to IRC standards in it's casual nature, although some networking (and not software or voip forums do get this way) follow this trend.

the "time and energy" anthm relates to is one of those seemingly frustrating tasks of not making the information available (or that becomes available) or not available in the future in a manner that "semantically" links it to all the rest of "related" topics ... if ya get my gist.

i guess this is why we have publishers ;)

the paying attention to 100 ML responses is the PITA in regards to an email client that doesn't read your mind is the ML problem...

my 2c

cheers
