[Wikipedia-l] I like BBS:es

[Jimmy Wales]

Well, not to be too me-centric, but I know that if there's a BBS I
will look at it sometimes, out of a sense of responsibility for the
project, but I'm not likely to "live" there in the same way that I
"live" on the mailing list, if you see what I mean.

So if important policy discussions were to take place there, I'd miss
them all completely.

Perhaps what we need is just a better interface for the mailing list
archives, and some means for people to post to the mailing list from
the web?  What are the main features that the pro-BBS'ers want?

Just as I don't care if other people read email using Microsoft
Outlook instead of a civilized mail program ;-), I don't care if some
people want to read and participate on the mailing list in some
BBS-centric fashion.

As long as I can live my life in emacs, I'm happy.
