    Well no one is stopping you from starting a forum. But then you've got
the herculean task of getting people to move to it from the comfort of
the mailing list. I'm guessing that's a non-starter.

Setting up a forum is not the problem.
The problem is that the value of the mailinglists is in the contributors 
that use it,
and they, for the most part, really do not want to stop using it.

This is why the original thread was about expanding the web-interface to 
the mailinglist,
that would allow the current mailinglist users to keep working the way 
they like to,
while opening the system up to the rest of the world in a more 
millenial-friendly way.


Did I just use the word "millenial?

sorry... I'll just go and be ashamed in a corner for a while...

Setup time doesn't matter, at all.  It's on-going maintenance and "everyone
has better things to do" that means there won't be a forum when the mailing
lists work fine.  Setting up a forum means you volunteer to keep it running
-- forever.  You can't just pack up and shut it down in 2 or 3 years when
you get bored with it.
