Hi Marcus.
First of all I want to thank you for your comment.

The reason for using forum instead the mailing-list is simple.
That forum has arguments grouped by categories.

When I had one little problem, I tried to post it to mailing-list.
Then I have retried more and more because nobody reply to my post.
So I thought: "May be my question is about a too simple problem!"
I saw in the list persons who talk about code or any hard problem with
Squeak.
There isn't question like: "How can I format my text?" or "How can I
send a mail?".
The forum is open to all, but also little questions can find an
answer!!!
It's true that the guru are on the List, but I didn't found someone
responding me...

... and I have some friends in the same condition.

Bye

Chobin

Hi Chobin,

It's great that you are actively trying to help the community!

But: The problem is, that I (and most others on the List) can't
imagine what this Web-based Forum can do for us that the mailinglist
can't. What do I gain by using the forum instead of the List? 
Is the Web-Interace as good (read: fast) as my email program?

There are many other things to consider here: All "gurus" are on the
List. So of someone has a question, he would ask on the Liste,
not the forum. So even if the forum is a good idea, it would
be pretty hard to bootstrap.

And then: I didn't subscribe because I prefer to have such kinds
of discussions in a medium where I don't need to be online while
reading (reading mails sitting in the park, or while traveling).
