Re: Future of this mailing list

The only negative I can see with the forums, is you have to actually go to the site to read them. The mailing lists are delivered to my mailbox, which is much more convenient. Perhaps similar functionality could be implemented for the forums.

Subject: [mb-users] Future of this mailing list

Dear MusicBrainz users,

as you know, there is an ongoing effort to reorganize and simplify user
support at MusicBrainz. One of the usual suspects are mailing lists as
opposed to forums -- many users are confused as to where
they should ask for help. It has been noted that only one of the mailing
lists has any relevance for the users (this one), all the others are
relevant either for developers or customers.

A proposal has been made about moving all user-relevant discussion to
the forums at http://forums.musicbrainz.org. However, nobody wished to
close this mailing list without hearing what its inhabitants think of
this idea first, so here it comes:

1. What do you think in general of putting user support at one place at
forums and shutting down musicbrainz-users mailing list?

2. Do you see any technical or usability reasons against using the
forums?

Thank you for your replies.

Nikolai.
