Hi folks,
Squeakland's got its own Etoys development list & forum, which replaces the etoys(at)laptop.org list, used primarily for Etoys on OLPC.
Anything you post in the forum will also get sent to the etoys-dev(at)squeakland.org mailing list. Likewise, anything sent to the list will appear in the forum, so you can choose your favorite style, forum or list, and not miss anything.
As we transition away from the stewardship of Viewpoints Research to the new Squeakland Foundation, we very much need your help to improve Etoys. If you like developing with Squeak, or know others who do, please help us.
To get started, have a look at this page on our wiki:
http://wiki.squeakland.org/display/sq/Starting+with+Etoys+Development
You can also look through our issue tracker to see what needs to be done, or add issues yourself:
If you'd like to take a more active role and participate in our weekly Qwaq chats, please click "contact" on squeakland.org and let us know!
Take care, Tim Falconer

I don't understand why you want to sync the forum with the etoys-dev mailing-list. etoys-dev is mainly for developers and they know how to subscribe to mailing-lists. For end-users, you can provide forums on the web site.
Best regards,
Hi, Serge,
It is nice to see your post here!

That may be true... But there may be a young talent somewhere out there who can write code but happens to only know about web forums. *If* the forum/mailing list gateway is working alright with proper spam filtering, then it would be a pure positive thing to have it, I think. (But, yes, it isn't working alright.)

Of course one might argue that this would be an excellent point in time to educate such talent about the value of mailing lists ;-) In particular considering the amount of spam the forum seems to attract it must be a relief for anyone who is serious about Etoys/education to get rid of the spam and engage in serious discussions.
I'll say though that I am surprised we're having so many problems when many of the more heavily used forums (games etc) do not seem to have equivalent issues. Are you *certain* these are humans and not just exploits of the software version we are using? It seems to me that if these are indeed humans, they'd spend more time on WoW forums establishing a bit of a reputation before they go all out. At least that is what I would do - the Etoys mailing list doesn't seem a significant enough target to waste any actual bodies on...
Cheers, - Andreas
