I don't think a newsgroup is flexible enough that we can just send people there and imagine that all problems are solved, even with Google Groups existing. My arguments are that a.) people might want to use their own e-mail instead of a Gmail, and b.) it's easy to get lost on Google Groups and end up in some other newsgroup. b.) could be solved by adding a NNTP web interface such as NewsPortal @ http://florian-amrhein.de/newsportal/ to WineHQ, although I don't think it's as flexible as fx. a phpBB forum. For example, it doesn't allow posting or following conversations. a.) does not seem to be easily solvable, which is (still) why I do not think the NNTP solution is good enough... _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
