We have different experiences, that's all :-) No problem for me if we
have no bulletin-board, I think it's too bad for users but for
developers it's useless.

I don't want the discussion to go any further, but I give what I
consider the advantages of an online bulletin board instead of a
mailing-list:

- centralized
- easier to search
- you can be notified only on subjects you're subscribed to
- more user friendly
- easier to link a wiki page to a forum topic/post than to a mail of
the mailing list

I personnaly like using mailing-lists because I have a deeper control on
my user interface, but I can be considered as an advanced user.

Subject closed, no need to argue anymore :-)
