Hi guys!
First of all, sorry if this is not the correct list to post something like this.
openSUSE has many mailing lists and some are very active. I, as a developer, must follow some to make sure I did not miss an important news. However, IMHO, mailing lists through e-mails are not that good anymore. It is very difficult to search for a message (if you did not archive everything, then you must rely on the on-line database), if you delete a message, reply to that thread is not very straightforward, etc.
I am wondering why do we not change to a more modern platform created with this kind of discussion in mind? In Julia project, they setup a discourse (http://discourse.julialang.org). It turn out that it is very good. In my opinion, much better than mailing lists using e-mails.
What do you think about this?
I for one would stop following the "what's going on". A ML is fine for me. I've seen several project move on to more modern stuff, and IMHO all got worse to follow. I don't need skins, or sounds, or stickers of colorful smileys. A mailing list is all it needs, and so far the info I want is getting through to me. Great job done! THANK ALL OF YOU WHO POST THE UPDATES!!! But don't let my opinion stop you from "moving on". Just be aware that you'll also loose followers. FWIW mail also lost value when they allowed HTML mail, even though management and marketing will state the oposite
Cheers, Ronan
