Hi,
For what it’s worth, I found Fedora Discussion *long* before this list, even as someone
who has a fair bit of experience in mailing lists so I think this is a great idea.
I think it’s far more discoverable over there, and a lot easier to find and follow the
flow of previous posts, which might cut down on some of the repetitiveness of a list like
this.
Just my two cents.
Best wishes to all,
Alex
