What I don't understand is why not use nntp instead of e-mail. IMHO it seems that this provides the best of both worlds. Now I am not suggesting the traditional usenet group but something like what Borland uses for their groups. Borland runs their own nntp server that isn't part of the rest of the usenet world. There is not that high noise level that plagues the rest of usenet.
This is a very good idea. Google is also quite good at indexing NNTP. What I'm suggesting is that we need a place where users with occasional problems, and a 2mb mailbox, can visit to a) search for posted solutions, and b) post a question without committing themselves to 400 e-mails a week. An NNTP hosted by SuSE would be an excelent fit to that. There are already NNTP-to-Mailing list crossover software (we use them on PostgreSQL all the time) and NNTP-to-Web readers for those poor Comcast subscribers with no NNTP support. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco
