Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Next steps for the Discourse Community instance

Hi Sophie,

I prefer the mailing list. I can download all mails and then I can
answer/read them offline, e. g. during a train run or just sitting on a
bench in a park and enjoy the nice weather. The internet connection is
not always well. So I would have problem to anwser/read the mails then.
If I am back at home, I can send the anwsered mails. I use Thunderbird
for the mails. In this program I can mark them with different tags. This
is very useful for me.
