Well, a single forum and a mailing list is a vast improvement over multiple forums and a mailing list. If you get your way it will be a forum and Google groups, and then you and Google will be the one who kills the Wine user mailing list, not me.
? We seem to be on different planets.
Yea we are, because you are the one who ranted about killing the user mailing list in the first place. and now your spinning it to where I want to close down everything. I only want people to have the opportunity to post in a Wine centric forum. and not a Ubuntu or Gentoo or Fedora etc..etc..etc.. forum about Wine!
There are quite a few forums where wine problems are discussed. You might need to shut down all of these to achieve your stated goal. Here are a few:
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/wine/ http://www.playonlinux.com/forums/ http://www.frankscorner.org/yabb/YaBB.pl http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/forum/ http://www.reactos.org/forum/
Thanks, ill send each of them a mail and ask them to cease operation.
My stated goal is to not increase the number of discussion forums / mailing lists, yet still appeal to the "I hate email" generation. I think the google groups front end for the existing mailing list comes pretty close to that...
So your goal is to have a single point for discussion? never mind ill let you send out the cease and desist mails. :D
