Hi, * Hagen Fritsch fritsch+osmocom-baseband@in.tum.de [2013-02-10 16:32]: [...]
That was just an idea, but then again I don’t really want to start a discussion on mailinglist vs forums. Therefore a summary of arguments is found for example here: http://www.freelock.com/blog/john-locke/2010-03/mailing-list-or-forum-theory
Yeah and most of them are stupid: - Conversations are grouped by topic => get a better mail client There is one place to go to see an entire history of the community => not true, forums don't aggregate news feeds, git repositories etc. the community is not defined by people who are active in chatter Forums are usually better-organized, easier to browse, easier to search => get a better mail client You can subscribe to some topics and not others, have a very granular control over what you pay attention to => get a better mail client Forums are "pull" -- you have to go to the site and "pull" the content down, instead of it being pushed to you and possibly interrupting your other activities => email can be both push and pull
Given the idiocy of his arguments, I stop here and won't comment on his thoughts on mailing list.
Maybe we should raise the bar for raise the bar for communication and move to usenet!1!? ;-P
