It is always easy to suggest things that other people should do, but wouldn't it be feasible to get one of these web-based boards up and running for the tools that now have their home on opencircuitdesign.com? I find mailinglists little useful and the traffic is not big enough for a dedicated USENET group. comp.lsi.cad could be something, but not all like to use USENET. With a bulletin board it could theoretically become easier to coordinate efforts within the various projects.

I have found many times that I wish I had the info I have at home in my mailbox at work and the other way around. A web-based bulletin board would solve that. I know it is a hassle to do all that registering and keep updated on passwords etc, but then at least there is less chance for spam (little if any lately on any of the lists).

What do you think, Tim?
