Yes, there are a few kinks to work out (the spam, etc), but this will let those that prefer forums to use them, while still maintaining the mailing list. And no, the mailing list is NOT spam free, I've got quite a few spam from wine-users and wine-devel. If you prefer mailing lists, great, use them. If not, use the forum. Both work the same (and for that matter, I recently found that mailing the mailing list will identify you by your userid if you've registered on the forum...neat!). - Austin P.S.
