We are considering updating the "community environment" for the Sleuth Kit and Autopsy. Currently, we have the wiki and the e-mail lists. The topic of forums has also come up and I wanted to get some feedback from people on e-mail lists vs. forums. Can you reply with any thoughts on: - e-mail lists only (status quo) - forum only (the lists go away) - forum and lists that are independent - forum and lists that are integrated (not entirely sure what our options are here though) brian |

Integrated forum & list would be a curiosity, but I've typically seen a bifurcation - forums tend to be used for "random newbie question" type traffic and MLs are usually more intentional participants. |

Same here. I prefer mailing lists that I can receive, go through as time permits, and archive/search. A forum means I have to login and actively seek out new and interesting threads which I really can't be bothered with. IMO it's too much work to stay current with a forum and its easier to participate with the mailing list.

The status quo seems to be working quite well. A forum would need strong registration hurdles to keep spam out. This list so far has done a great job of keeping spam down (I'm not sure I've seen a spam email from this list yet). I also like having a message archived in my mail archives with a link-able copy on SourceForge, too. --Alex On Wed, Jul 31, 2013 at 8:06 PM, Brian Carrier <ca...@sl...>wrote: > We are considering updating the "community environment" for the Sleuth Kit > and Autopsy.

Google Translate says its contents are exactly: "Hello, Thanks for your letter, I have received, I will promptly reply to you." I suppose I brought that on myself. --Alex |
