LiveCode Forums.

Hi,

I would like to propose a sync option so that all listserv mailing be integrated into the forum. That would give everybody a 'one place' search tool and knowledge depot.
Maybe our newly appointed representative would would be willing to take this up
Voting can commence.

If you ask me, all forum messages should be
reposted as new threads to the mail list...

Why not creating a stack that do this?
A stack that presents both the forums
and mail lists, side by side and allows
to rate the interest of the topics.

A stack like this is way above my own experience
but should be possible for the very experienced
developers in this platform.

Hihi,

the never ending discussion between pro’s an cons of mailing lista vs forums. Many pages have been writen about it

Still no one can argue that having a place where you can search both at once is not useful. Pro list server people already have
something like an forum summary that can be send to there mail. I do not think setting up a list serve to forum functionality
is vey difficult (although difficult for me). It is talked about on the phpBB site.

I just see that you replied in the list server as well. All very confusing having several places. But my fault started it on both places

How about something like this that I put together a few years ago, and I use it daily. But it only reads the mail list.

That does look nice Mark. Any change of charing this?

Actually I was hoping Runrev would pick this up. The forum software that is used can be configured to 'read' a list server mailing so this would be the ideal solution I think.
It can even be read-only for search purposes. That would be great. And while we are at it lets trow in the other one I go to every once in a while: Stackoverflow.

This must be a good addition and will benefit the whole community, so come on Runrev people

Best regards,
Marc

I failed in posting the application ZIP file, because the attachment max file size is 256KB on this forum, and I don't have a web site for you to download it from.
You can email me offline and I can email the ZIP file that way.

I have both WIN and OSX Intel versions available. Let me know which platform you would want.

Mark

Hi Mark,

I've send you a PM

Regards Marc
