Forums: 1-invariably mousetype (rude, tiny text; certainly applicable to forums.opensuse.org)
At least in the case of opensuse you can read (and write) the forums using nntp, which means you can read them using plain text clients (tin) or gui (thunderbird, claws, pan, knode...). You can even read/write offline without internet. I've recently joined the forums that way, and it is interesting. The ratio of novices is higher, which reflects on the language, manners, questions asked/answered, as many have mentioned here. If there are fewer correct answers, well, it means that more experienced users should think of going there and help ;-) . There are also a good number of very helpful people there. The only problem I still have is carrying the list of already read messages from one computer to another (nntp). As for integration of forums and mail lists, it is technically possible. Currently, we have nntp <-> web gateways, and out there there are nntp <-> mail gateways. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
