Re: [PIUG List] PIUG Space > Consideration of replacing the PIUG Discussion List with the Wiki Discussion Forum

I realize this was a one-time thing, but the "formatted" messages took
significantly longer to open in Lotus Notes, so it's not something we
would want to happen on a regular basis with messages.

My apology for the reposting, but I thought it would be appropriate to
send it in a more readable format. If you wish to reply to this or future

Consideration of replacing the PIUG Discussion List with the Wiki
Discussion Forum
Page commented by Admin - Tom Wolff
 
Pat:
Thank you for your posting on PIUG-L and copying it to the wiki forum. You
have provided a good summary of advantageous wiki forum features and
benefits as well as a sense of some of the difficulties with having two
communication media.
I don't have any magic, but I will offer to forward all PIUG Discussion
Forum contributions-new topics and replies-to PIUG-L. In that way, all
subscribers to PIUG-L would also receive email messages containing unique
new content in the discussion forum. Those messages would also have active
links so that PIUG-L recipients could choose to view the whole discussion
thread online and reply thereon rather than within PIUG-L. The only
drawback I see is that people who both watch the wiki forum and subscribe
to PIUG-L would get two email messages for everything posted on the forum;
from them I ask for patience as we try to demonstrate the wiki forum to
those who haven't registered yet. I will try avoid forwarding content
originally on PIUG-L such as your posting above.
I am starting the forwarding process with this reply to your message. I
would anticipate doing this for some limited transition period as PIUG and
the Board decides what to do with the replacement and transition issues.
