Most is really not enough, however. I'm against this proposal, personally.
I think *most* read the forums and *less than most* read the other multiple sources. Why not aggregate that information in the forums and get *more than most* readership. Shouldn't take more than a minute or two to copy and paste text into a new thread, or provide a link and a quick synopsis.
Because then discussion takes place in two separate locations, which makes it really hard to come to a reasonable consensus.
GA, what do you prefer? Your first post seems to indicate being in favor of getting more people involved by keeping the mailing list in addition to having the information in the forums. Your second post seems to be against having the discussion in two places. I'm confused as to what you are trying to say???

I agree, I think the only person to suggest that has been qgil as quoted above.

correct, bearing in mind that ignoring pleas for better communication (or other issues) would lead to the certian loss of other important members.
This is a hardly a clear-cut issue. In fact, it's highly polarized, entrenched and subjective.
Agreed, I just wanted to point out that if we are discussing improving community communication (and potentially losing important members) we should be sure to try to alienate as few people as possible

PS Boy I wish quoting a post would include the previous posts. It'd make keeping track of a conversation easier.
