I use that forum daily, and find it good enough at what it does. There
are some minor tweaks I'd like to see, such as telling new users that
their question/answer/comment is waiting for moderation, so that they
don't try to make the same posts two or more times (All that happens is
that a moderator will decline the dupes and accept the original, without
penalty.) making my job as a moderator a tad easier. Also, some of the
reasons for declining a post should either be rephrased or removed, but
that's just cosmetic. I don't see any need for it to be in active
development in the sense of adding new bells, whistles and gongs as long
as there's somebody available who is both willing and able to patch any
bugs that show up. I wouldn't want this mailing list to migrate to an
instance of askbot, because mailing lists and forums serve different
needs in different ways.
