If we could merge mailinglists and forums (by presenting the mailinglist in a forum-like view) and use the forum comment interface to send mails to a mailinglist, then both groups would be merged instead of seperated.
Thats one of issues high on the list for www.centos.org-2.0
But of course that would mean destroying the content available in the current forums. Something that should have been investigated before setting up forums ?
we have developers around who know the xoops codebase, we could potentially transition the existing data over. I suppose a final result would/could be that have the forums, but still allow people to gateway it via an email interface ( sort of the thing that FUDforum lets you do now ).
there was discussion at the time, about integrating forums and mailing lists - but circumstances were such that the decision was made to go ahead with the system, as it is now.
