Re: [xwiki-users] Drop mailing lists in favor of a forum software

Andreas, I am aware that web-forums may scale better in some ways. All the complaints I and others have formulated about moving to web-forum relate to the ease of use of email-based traffic: - receive all the forum posts per email - respond to them by email If it is possible to get at least these functions I think no-one will object of having the "main storage" be something different than a mailing-list and, indeed, it would allow us to use extra features of a web-forum to better manage (e.g. indicate interest or disinterest to a thread or a filter). I have repeatedly attempted to set-up web-forums to this effect and I never managed to get this fully working. The refinement of the handling the mails and the errors of such a tool as mailman will be hard to beat. Please contradict me! Please review the arguments and see if they can be answered. paul Le 10 mars 2011 à 07:24, Andreas Hahn a écrit :
