There should be a mail-tmo bridge IMHO, then only high S/N ratio from forum should be somehow handled.. anyways usenet did this all better, but what can you do, when many people think internet is web browser..
OK, so you look at the topic in email and magically the ones you don't care for are skipped over and in a forum you have to read the topic to see if you care? cmon on people, can we get real.


To be clear, when the community forum is merged with the community mailing list, whether you read it in mail or on a webpage there will be a larger number of topics and a larger number of contributors.

I feel like many people on the mailing list don't want to hear peoples opinions on the forums, "its to much noise" "people on the mailing list are more engaged contributors" and so on.

Community is not "us vs them" its is "us vs us" We are all the same, developer, admin, hack, marketing, bloggers, and the list goes on.
