If you feel that the Fedora mailing lists are becoming a little
unmanageable or are not as valuable as they could be, would you take the
time to e-mail me with your thoughts on the problem? (private e-mail is
fine) If you think that there's no problem at all, hearing that opinion
would be useful too!
Thanks in advance,

I keep committing atrocities in an attempt to learn from my mistakes.
Personally, I prefer forums to mailing lists. Forums give the ability to
seperate different categories of problems and discussion.
The major advantage I see for a forum compared to a mailing list is that
a forum is more of a "browsing" medium, and mailing list just stuff
everything down your throat. I want to check what sort of software
problems people have, but to do so with a mailing list is intimidating
(when I didn't check my email for a few days and found over a thousand
emails, I certainly didn't read them all).
Right now, I go to
fedoraforum.org for help, but it doesn't have nearly
the support base these mailing lists have. A combination of the mailing
list membership with a forum would be nervana and would solve what I
believe to be the "taming" problem.
