I take part in several OSM subforums. There is much, much better
overview than in this mailing list. </blockquote>

subforum anyone can open a topic simply by posting a message, then
anyone can reply, to any message in the thread, with quoting if
necessary. As with a mailing list, if the discussion goes
off-topic, a new topic is usually opened, again by simply posting
a message, if necessary linking back to the topic of origin.</blockquote>
