While it may seem that a forum is the 'modern' way to interact, and some library communities do prefer it, the fact is, it's a matter of preference. Email and forums were invented at nearly the same time, and people have been arguing about which is better for decades :-).
Actually, I think email distribution lists date from at least 1977 (RFC 733) while forums must date from after the first web page in around 1990 http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/FAQ.html#Examples Anyway, that's not why I'm emailing. Please, if anyone puts up a forum, can it have the following features: 1. Some sort of bridge to koha.lists.katipo.co.nz, either gmane-like or summaries being sent back and forth; 2. RDF Site Summary (RSS-1) feeds of latest threads/topics; 3. Follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines - in particular, no eyetests for registration or posting. ?
