Paul, I'm afraid I don't agree. You're right mentioning the lack of comfort
when using the mailing list purely just with an email client. But in my
opinion nabble makes using this list as easy as a web forum. I myself use it
to read and post messages. I only check my mail account from time to time to
*delete* the mails.
So I think we have everything that is needed already. But on the other hand,
the internet is free you always gotta try new things. I wish you the best.
Let's see what comes out.
Cheers nillehammer

By the way, what about downvoting the outdated Tapestry rant at
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1303438/why-did-you-stop-using-tapestry?
It evens calls Howard a liar.

We've got forums, we've got StackOverflow, we've got IRC, we've got
who-knows-what.
The Apache way is based on email because email is distributed and
forever; any site or forum is limited to the lifespan of that site and
that forum and disruptions do happen. To be honest, if I had my way,
we would do support on StackOverflow because that's the best damn
support forum I've seen, and it only gets better as it is more heavily
used ... but I digress. We're Apache, we use email.

I agree with Nillehammer, but I do think at first the mailing list seems a
bit cumbersome to signup with, especially if your trying to access it
through nabble from day 1, but once your up and running I feel things are
very simple to use with great help. I also like how simple nabble is to
search archived records. My first thought when checking out your forum was
bright and that might be effecting the user feel. It's only one my opinion,
so what ever you feel it's worth. Good luck, hopefully it works out for you.
