Re: The first dedicated PostgreSQL forum

I would like to see this type of setup used.  I use my cell phone for about
90% of my internet access during the day when I'm on the road.  I've found
in the past that forums usually have better search tools and they also will
not fill up my email address.  I find many things in these forums which are
great to be able to save and search on but would like to get rid of the
posts from my emails.  I don't want to not have access to them because when
I'm board I can start to read through threads that interest me.  I just
don't want to have to download the emails to do that.

Best Regards

Mike Gould

 FUDForum by the look of it: <a target="_blank"
href="http://cvs.prohost.org/index.php">http://cvs.prohost.org/index.php</a>
  

And mailing list integration looks pretty straightforward and well
supported: <a
href="http://cvs.prohost.org/index.php/Mailing_List_Manager">http://cvs.prohost.org/index.php/Mailing_List_Manager</a>
 Feasible?  Desirable?
