One thing that makes me agree with this is the antiquated format of the digest emails. I hate google mail, but I love the google groups application. If postgres had a combination online forum/google groups thing (if there is such a thing), communication would be much improved. Now, I KNOW that database types are conservative by nature, almost as much as accountants. But a little change is good now and then ;-) Dennis Gearon From: Guillaume Lelarge <guillaume@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: rod@xxxxxx Cc: Elliot Chance <elliotchance@xxxxxxxxx>, pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: The first dedicated PostgreSQL forum Message-ID: <4CDED73F.90901@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Le 13/11/2010 17:43, Raymond O'Donnell a écrit : > On 13/11/2010 03:43, Elliot Chance wrote: >> Hi everyone, >> >> This is my first post on the mailing list :) >> >> As of today I have started the first dedicated postgres forum at: >> http://forums.postgresql.com.au > > Hi there, > > Without in any way running down the effort you've put into the above, > I'm just curious as to what it's meant to achieve that the mailing list > and wiki don't. > Actually, you could be quite surprised on the number of people not willing to use a mailing list, and ready to use web forums. Just to take an example, pgsql-fr-generale (the french general mailing list) is really quiet. Usually not more than 10 threads per month. But the french web forums (http://forums.postgresql.fr) are much much more used. -- Guillaume http://www.postgresql.fr http://dalibo.com -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
