Hi,<br><br>first sorry for the lack of participation in this discussion[1].<br>I didn't had a chance to read the parallel threads at TMO and here, but here is my opinion.<br><br>I'm
also against this change, I personally don't have anything against TMO,
but I've started discussions here and at the forums, and IMHO at TMO
you get more replies but in general the replies at the mailing lists
are more sane and more useful(less buzz), mostly because we've here the
majority of the long standing community members. I know that others
have different opinions, but this is just my personal opinion.<br>
<br>Enough of this forums vs ML discussion, here is a deal for the
short term, some of the Council members have more presence here at the
MLs and others more in the forums, so when someone starts a discussion
in one of these places the council members are responsible to bring the
discussion to the other place and moderate it, in the end we merge the
best ideas and communicate them to the community, since both places are
very low traffic seems easy to do.<br>
Isn't that on one of the responsibilities of the council ?<br><br>Believe
me, is very difficult to make people go to the forums, if they don't
want or don't have enough spare time (yes, forums are more time
consuming), if we close this list, the discussions will happen at
-devel and so on. We don't want to fragment more the community opposing
changes like that, where we can't reach a consensus.<br>
<br>For those that want these mailing lists in a forum form factor, there's Nabble: <a href="http://n2.nabble.com/maemo-community-mailing-lists-f2589537.html" target="_blank">http://n2.nabble.com/maemo-community-mailing-lists-f2589537.html</a><br>
<br><br><br>[1] - I'm without broadband, I only have very limited
mobile access, so don't expect replies from me till the middle of next
week, for urgent matters add [urgent] in the mail subject.<br><br>Best regards,<br>

</div>Well, for this community, the IRC crowd and the mailing list crowd tend to be one-and-the-same and separate from the Talk crowd.<br>
