Forum

Page commented by Admin - Tom Wolff <http://wiki.piug.org/display/~admin>

 

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.

Tom
