Thanks for the responses and personal perspectives. My thoughts were primarily in relation to making Koha more accessible to 'library people' around the world. Online forums are the tool of choice for online communities, the fora of many famous projects have become information repositories of great value. People are hugely webcentric these days. In the short time I've been here, I've seen numerous single posts by people who asked one question and then simply vanished. -"Koha? Looked good but, too hard!" I would venture that over time these translate into much lost opportunitiy to build a stronger, more vibrant Koha community. Just some thought from a newbie...hopefully no offense taken.
The mailing list archive can be searched, just as a forum can. In fact, the mailing list can be read as a forum if you wish. See the options here:
I've been using the web format a lot, finding the threading a lot easier to follow AND I must apololgise: I did not see the *search* function at the bottom of the page. Thanks Owen! That solves my personal issue of making sure I do not burden the list with topics discussed previously. Best Regards, Bo
