WG/OBIT/Forum Needs
Discussion and clarifications found on Talk Page
What's wrong with the current scheme
- sender email visible to all - leads to folks needing to manage secondary email addresses
- clunky archive reading
- unable to respond to deleted messages
- unable to respond to threads without configured email client
- Unable to squelch out threads on an individual basis
Suggested requirements
- public archive for browsing threaded conversations
- ability to respond with just a web browser
- subscriptions to individual threads, with email notification of new postings
- managed internal to #obit -> archives, backups, ability to relocate if necessary
Host/Software Criteria
- Managed internally
- Open Source Software (1)
- Transparency
- Publicly accessible (not hidden)
