[Mapserver-users] List as a forum

[Giorgio Plazzotta]

Hi all
I also agree with the opinion that a forum offers more advantages than a
mailing list, though these instruments are different and both have their
goods and faults. An even better solution would be an indformation system
composed by a forum and a periodical newsletter. The newsletter would
eliminate the disadvantage of the too many information and messages created
in a mailing list and in a forum. The problem in this case is typical of the
system where the information offer is too big, the user can sometimes not be
helped to catch the most important things that happened in that period, and
the important announces are mixed together with very specialistic infos. Of
course in order to publish a newsletter a team of people who cure it is
needed and i don't know if this can be done, but it would really be a great
help seen by the user's side.
