Any more opinions?
Dunno how many people there are on this list?
I love the idea of a forum, with E-mail gateways.
The problem with a forum is that we should make sure we poll it frequently, and provide
fast answers, as people tend to be more patient on mailing lists as they are on forums.
Also, some forums give you score and titles on participation and help you give other
users, so this could also be a motivation for users to help one another.
Some forums also give the ability to set threads as "answered", and what the
answer is, and that's also important as you can sometimes get lost in the information
on long E-mail threads.
Didn't get a chance to take a look at the implementation suggestions below, but IMO an
option that gives the abilities mentioned above will be the winner :-)
