PS: Please use a more telling subject (and separate messages for each
problem), this makes it harder to follow (and easier to locate it in
the archives).

Actually an issue-tracker would be the right place for that kind of thing ("one issue at a

No - the list is just fine, as it's important to get other people's
confirmation and stuff.
The second choice would be to have a forum.
No, not at all. There having all in one single entry wouldn't help
either. You'd create seperate topics, wouldn't you?
AHA! That's the point, isn't it? THOSE tools do have their rules and conventions.
But not mail lists: They are for casual use ("use-and-throw" messages).
Why did you get this impression?
The OpenOffice.org community (and several others) wouldn't have been
able to work for 10 years effectively if they hadn't had rules an conventions.
They are based on the rules in Usenet many many years ago, but are valid
though. The reference in the "Netiquette" page on Wikipedia might contain
more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette
If you are interested in real answers, please have a look at the mail I sent to Paulo,
a new member of the Design Team yesterday:

(copied from the mail's header - quite easy to link to an existing mail or thread)
With appropriate filters and threading in a modern mail client
(like Thunederbird) most of the advantages of a forum can be egalized by a
mailing list.
Perhaps you can think of changing your negative attitude against
mailing lists and try to find out, what is possible...
Best regards
Bernhard
PS: I changed the subject to tell everybody that the topic has changed ...
