mailing list is fine for me, only missing from my point of view is
an efficient searching tool to retreive useful information , to get
knowledge from already answered questions. There is a link to access
all the mails, classified by month , but unusable for any search
capabilities (as far as I know)<br>

like the mailing list and the fact that we get responses from

the developers on a regular basis. I also think that the
mailing list <br>
gets better requests for information than many forums because
people <br>
stop and think before posting a question because they know
everyone on <br>
the list will see their update.<br>
<br>
A forum has to be policed and that takes work which the
developers <br>
cannot spend time on, it is also far more open to abuse and
spam.<br>
