If so, can you put them in a PR and use 'send-pr' to get them in (replying to this message might work, but there's a greater chance that someone will pick them up if you use send-pr). > Implementing simple web based discussion groups would be a plus too. > Sure, mailing lists are very useful but *scoff* there are more up to > date ways quite easily achieved with FreeBSD. I'd start one up myself > if I could afford a dedicated link. I disagree. I can't filter a web-based discussion system to only include particular authors. I can't bounce appropriate messages to friends. I can't use my usual editor when I'm replying to messages. I can't change the colours to use what I normally use when I'm reading mail. I can't get automatic notification when new mail is sent to the list. Use the web for web stuff. Use mail for mail stuff.
