Time zones, typing skills, availability of information about topic in real time, are real problems. and so far I can see moderated mail list, as mentioned in other post, will solve all of them at once.
yes... and no :-( * Yes, but of course any opensuse-project user is probably a mailing-list addict. There are people that don't like mailing-lists and preferes news or php forums and wont show on a mailing-list. * exactly what criterias and how/who will moderate? I found the moderation of meetings extremely frustrating, as I could nearly never have my word (and I asked very few). A moderated mailing-list meeting need to have a very fast moderator pace, if not the mails don't come in order. the best system is probably not mailing-lists but news forums. I don't say so to make one other fork, but for some reasons: - meeting discussion may probably have valid forks. Forks are easy to manage with news threads, the threads are not so easy to manage in mails. - somebody can feel unconcerned by a thread and suddenly realise he is not. it's always possible to answer a news, even some hours later, if you deleted a mail, you can't anymore answer from the archives - it's possible to cancel a post, specially if it seems OT or erroneous - it's possible to moderate the forum after the fact, giving the possibility to a moderator to cancel a post if it is giving too OT, even possibly after some sort of vote or mutual agreement. it's very difficult to stop a troll on a mailing list jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/mediawiki/index.php/GPS_Lowrance_GO --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
