I always wondered why Fedora split the group of users between 2 sources.
Was it to keep the signal-to-noise ratio acceptable on the mailinglists or
just because some type of people would otherwise be left out because
mailinglists do not appeal to them.
If we could merge mailinglists and forums (by presenting the mailinglist
in a forum-like view) and use the forum comment interface to send mails to
a mailinglist, then both groups would be merged instead of seperated.
But of course that would mean destroying the content available in the
current forums. Something that should have been investigated before
setting up forums ?
And I'm not sure if any software exists that would allow this. Doesn't
seem that hard to write though...
