[AccessD] Svar: What to do? (was: Just Another Old Boys Club)

Hi Jim

We certainly do. But I think someone with amble spare time (and that is not me) would have to take the lead to obtain a constructive discussion and a realistic goal.

Hi Gustav:

I have been thinking of that for some time and made a number of related
proposals a few years back but nothing proceeded from there. It may be the
time to move forward though such an event would take a fair commitment.

We do have enough expertise here to put something in place.

Jim

Hi all

The "No messages for 2 days" post reminded me of this thread 2 years ago.
Since then nothing has changed.

The main issue I see, is that mail lists are quite bad at attracting new
members. You cannot just drop in and see what's going on, nor can you attach
screenshots or code files, you can't even link to a message except if you
are able to find it in the archive.

The forum-style seems to me to be answer though I'm aware of the weak sides.
First of all some moderator time to keep spam and trolls out. Also the cost
to run it which forces some to include adds.

However, except for these thoughts, I have no "solution".
What do you think?
