[iks-community] Mailinglist vs. Forum vs. Newsgroup

[Jens W. Klein]

I was asked to bring it up onto the mailing list, so here I'am.

In all Communities we had sooner or later the discussion of using a
Mailinglist vs. Forum vs. Newsgroup.

My suggestion and best practice is to do it all-in-one to attract more
people to attend to the same topics. 

The existing Mailinglist can be interfaces with http://gmane.org which
offers web-readers and read/write newsgroup access.

It can be also interfaces with http://www.nabble.com/ for the forum
users.

How it looks-and-feels you can see at 

Mailing-List
        http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/product-developers
        (for use with mail-client)
        
Forum:
        http://plone.org/support/forums/addons
        (for through-the-web usage)
        
Newsgroup
        http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.zope.plone.product-developers
        (can be used by a newsreader)
