I will just state again, that people who talk about gateways etc between mailing lists and the web forum, haven't got full comprehension of what a successful web forum is about.
As I'm one of the proponents of just that, perhaps you'd care to enlighten me as to why a bi-dir gated forum/mailinglist would not be successful? What would it be missing that a "normal" webforum has?
There is no reason that an openSUSE web forum will not rival any of the above in terms of usage.
Absolutely.
And does anybody who thinks that the mailing lists on these other distros are non-functioning because they have successful web forums? Of course not.
