I used to think so, but now with RSS + web interfaces (see IxDA.org) I only use my email for rapid communication, and not for forum conversations. Something to consider. Yes, we did this using mailman and it does SUCK. its a hack and we are blowing it all up in a big initiative, but at least people have options they didn't have previously. I.e. if you want, you never have to see a mailman interface ever using ixda.org. -- dave You forgot to ask one VERY important question, “Is email correct, primary focal user interface for what you want to achieve?” I used to think so, but now with RSS + web interfaces (see IxDA.org) I only use my email for rapid communication, and not for forum conversations.

Have you ever thinked about building something like the IXDA site? Do you know BBpress? Look at this fórum: http://chawlk.com/notes/ I´m a former Ai-pt subscriber, and one of the reasons i left is a lack of comment threading and poor web presentation ( inherent aspects of mailing lists, i guess) Regards, Hi Liv,
