Installing Zope/Squishdot or Slash Engine is another item on my long

Hmmmm.... What would happen if? If we abandoned this email list and
moved to a slashdot style forum. As much as I love Slashdot I must
admit that I check it once or twice a day and rarely reply to the
stories. I'll submit news about once a month. OTOH I have spent a
great deal of time reading almost every email on this list and I
contribute almost every day. (often more than once per day)
If we were to dump the list and move to a web based forum I would spend
a lot less time and energy on this project. The pattern is the same
with the other open source projects that I'm involved in. (gimp,
gphoto, PageCast, and OpenVerse) I'm on the -devel list for each and I
follow along and watch what the developers are talking about. When I
see a way that I can help or contribute I jump in and do what I can.
I guess what I'm saying is that there should be different levels of
interactivity because different folks have different preferences. Email
will work for some... others might like NNTP or HTML better. Still
others might hang out in a chat room all the time swapping ideas.
