Also, the latest version allows people to subscribe to a specific web forum, and receive the postings (and possibly post) via regular e-mail. I think that it may be useful for discussion and reference material that is specific to certain packages and not of general interest. We've got to do something about the volume of posts on the Debian mailing lists. I missed several days this week, and I just came in and I'm totally overwhelmed by the number of posts. I don't have enough time to read them all. So, I'm going to set it up... but consider it experimental for the time being. Cheers, - Jim
