Now wine-newbies could be taken as insulting by some people. If we must go with the split, instead of creating a new list and forum, just unlink the list and the forum. The newbies will gravitate to the forum and the experienced users to the more traditional mailing list environment naturally. Ideally, though, there's no such need for the split, and the forum should just be unlinked until the forum rules and the forum interface to the mailing list are fixed to comply with standard quoting, threading and traditional user expectations (after all, the idea being to bring newbies up to being real users, not drag everyone else down to newbie level). This is doable, however the forum to list code has proven too immature for production use and really should be pulled from production use until it's fixed. > Only reason these so called newbies have not been in the mail list is lack > of skill to find it and join. Also people like me are not in the mailing > list because my mail box is already too full. If there were no forum, the mailing list would be more obvious to find even with the present wiki layout. - -- Paul Johnson baloo@xxxxxxxxx -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQFH5ywaUCxPKZafKh0RAry5AJdXRD7H6iVizNFZUI56COAHr3yQAKDFor4S aLgjuFcL0WQLxxX/r4F/pA== =MhZ7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
