However I really like to use a mailing list in addition to one of the above.</p> Mon, 20 Aug 2007 22:17:55 -0700 manus_eiffel comment 322 at http://www.eiffelroom.org http://www.eiffelroom.org/blog/patrickr/communication <p>I just created <a href="http://eiffelroom.com/poll/how_do_you_like_to_communicate_in_a_community">poll</a> on how people like to communicate. Recently there was a discussion about which Eiffel mailing list to use. I'm wondering if people like mailing lists or would prefer something different altogether.</p> <p>I personally prefer online forums to mailing lists as they have several advantages. <ul> <li>My mail account doesn't get flooded with mails from mailing lists</li> <li>I can read and search old posts</li> <li>Easy signup, low barrier for new users</li> <li>If I post something, my mail address is not open on the internet for spammers</li> </ul> </p> <p>What do you think? What's your preferred way to have a discussion?</p> http://www.eiffelroom.org/blog/patrickr/communication#comments Mon, 20 Aug 2007 11:51:41 -0700 patrickr 215 at http://www.eiffelroom.org
