Hey, Bo! I guess you are using e-mails in a web-based way. Give some Mail User Agents (e-mail clients) a try, such as Thunderbird[1] or Mutt[2], you will find the power of mailing lists:) But of course, they may take some time to understand how they function.

Hi, I'm a mere newbie here so I apologise for shooting my mouth off ...again....
I'd like to ask the question, why is there no Koha Discussion forum? It's standard practice all over the web, a super efficient, proven paradigm. Are mail lists not a bit archaic in this day and age? I think one of the biggest problems with the current archived list is that it's not searchable and that its organisation is just time-based, rather than being subject/topic based. I't very time consuming to read back through 100's of postings to find out if anything has been posted previously on various issues, epecially for newbies.
Koha's not an easy bit of software, but truly wonderful when its up-and-running. It deserves much more exposure. It deserves the best possible support forum. I would imagine the vast majority of folks are just give up on it after tinkering a bit. And putting out the appropriate word-of-mouth 'advertising'...
If there is a lack someone willing provide the webspace I'd be prepared to host 'forum.koa.org'
Apologies if this has been discussed before. Bo _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
