Here are my observations: email is a pretty slow way of doing this kind of thing. Yes, us old-timers are quite used to it, but it kind of lacks a "collaborative" feel. A lot of time this kind of work gets done on various IRC channels. They at least (usually) give quicker feedback. But koobs@ has been putting a lot of effort into getting Discord to be a first- class interactivity space for FreeBSD. So, let me suggest trying out one of the channels there, as see if it's more like what you are looking for. (disclaimer: I am not saying "this will solve all our problems". I'm saying that right now it has momentum and seems worth supporting.) mcl
