Wouldn't it be better for the board to have its own
mailing list?

a delayed response to:
the <Towards 3.9.1 . Away from What?> thread.

Hi all,


Wouldn't it be better for the board to have its own
mailing list for collecting agenda items?
  
Rather than rely on squeakpeople for communication. 

Squeakpeople is a poor mechanism for communication.
The difficulty in using it is reflected by its sparse
use.

I had looked at the messages on squeak people breifly.
Decided the agenda post was too out of date to be
relied on and fell back on posting to squeak-dev where
most of the attention is given.

Personally I find it deficient even in the most basic
of things.  Users can not even update their own
password.

It's unique function is validating apprentices,
journeyers and masters. And that is only exciting
around election time.

A board mailing list might provide a better mechanism.

Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace
