Yahoo groups is a forum style on-line but still retains a perfectly functional email interface. WHY does the discussion have to be 'switch to a forum' when there are perfectly good examples of multiple path systems without the straigh jacket some forum systems enforce? github does provide a reasonable email interface but only once you have connected with a thread. However what github prevents is cross inking with the rest of the php infrastucture, so bugs can be linked with releases, the manual can directly link to RFC's and other source material, and the whole system is independent of ANY third party policy changes. Yes things can be improved, and even some of the poor choices on the existing infrastructure could be replaced, (mirroring wiki for example!) but hopefully that will happen in isolation to third party services, while still allowing mirroring via them as already happens with github, email archives, and other third party services. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
