Amusingly, the first reply to that is someone trying to set up an email gateway to the forum because they like their current workflow... It's certainly worth considering a forum rather than e-mail if there's real evidence of advantages, though. The challenge then would be to figure out what to use - let's not pick something trendy and list "features" like infinite scroll and markdown, but actually think about what benefits of the ML we want to preserve, and what we want to fix. So, for starters, we need something with a low barrier to entry, easy to keep track of what's new, with good search support, a decent threading and sub-threading system... I'm sure we could come up with a shopping list and evaluate systems against it. Regards,

Hmm... there's also this: <https://github.com/arkanis/nntp-forum>. Not sure how much cleanup it would need or what it even looks like. A forum interface to the NNTP server. That would make everyone happy... except for the people who want to avoid dual interfaces (I think I've heard this before...) -- Stephen Coakley
