</a>><br>Subject: [OSM-talk] Mailing list -> forum?<br><br>We had at least one guy asking for a forum rather than a mailing list yet<br>(and not much people ask in *mailing lists* for a forum. If I remembered<br>correctly, he would also helping setup and maintaining it :).
</blockquote><div><br>That was me. The offer still stands, if required. I'd be willing to put in the time to set up the forum as a draft and wouldn't object to a decision to take it down if it is deemed uneccessary for OSM. Also willing to take responsibility for ongoing forum administration or to handover responsibility to a more established OSM contributor, as required, once the system is in place.
<br></div><br>It is clearly a contentious issue. I won't be arguing the points for and against an OSM forum - I'm just offering to do whatever I can to help.<br><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
PS: I would be in a strong favour of a *CLEAN* and *SIMPLE* forum. I speak<br>of a forum *without* stuff like blinking banners everywhere, animated user<br>picutres of half the size of a laptop screen and especally one which don't
<br>turn beatuiful ascii arts into ugly pacmans ;-)</blockquote><div><br>Me too. <br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Dave<br><br></div><br></div>
