Marc,
Thanks for your update and I'm glad you are exploring
options for
communication.

DY> Personally, I think what "ails" the
email-based approach is that
there is a lack of clarity around what this email list is
for. When
you sign up for SIP Forum membership, you are encouraged to
join this
mailing list to stay in touch with SIP Forum members. I did
- and
found I was in a list for general questions about SIP, often
by folks
new to the protocol.
DY> I think that particular issue could be solved by
simply having a
"memberssipforum.org" mailing list that was
set up for the express
reason of allowing people to communicate with each other on
*SIP
Forum* matters. Yes, there are the Marketing and Technical
Working
Groups, but there's no place to really communicate with all
members.
DY> While I'm a fan of bulletin boards for many reasons
(easily
searchable, SEO through Google, etc.) I have to admit that
they don't
work really well for me personally. I don't have time to
visit
websites. I need the information *pushed* to me somehow.
Email,
with all its limitations, works well in this regard.
DY> So please consider this my request that if you do go
the bulletin
board route, please consider some way for those of us who
would
prefer to interact via email to be able to do so.
DY> Actually, on that note... this is exactly what Google
Groups
do... have you considered using one of those instead? It
lets people
participate through either the web interface or the email
interface
and people see all messages regardless of which interface
they use.
My 2 cents,
Dan
