Hi,

Interesting discussion....
I do prefer a good organised forum above a mailinglist:

- better overview
- better searchable
- quicker to read
- less mail
- possibility to give likes

As a newcomer here, it is hard to find previous information. Even on
externals.io.

That signing on to the mailinglist is a little difficult is an advantage
for a list like this and at the other hand should not be a problem for a
developer...;-p

But Github would not be my choice for a forum.

Greetz,
flexJoly
