<p>Yes please!</p>
<p>This brings e.g.:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Inline images</li>
<li>Rich formatting</li>
<li>Hyperlinking<br>
</li>
<li>A self-hosted search</li>
<li>Easy reading of message threads</li>
<li>Accessibility of older posts for new users<br>
</li>
<li>Editing of posts</li>
<li>Low barrier of entrance</li>
<li>No leakage of mail addresses</li>
<li>Good public search engine indexing</li>
<li>Seeing new messages only if you want to, not directly to your
inbox</li>
<li>More options for categorisation of posts</li>
<li>Modern interface</li>
<li>RSS feeds</li>
</ul>
<p>Having a modern forum might lead to more people participating on
the open web as opposed to Telegram and Facebook groups, LinkedIn
etc.</p>
<p>It could foster an actual online community as well, where people
share images of their projects, talk about offline meetings and
share photos, etc.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Cheers, Hannes</p>
