[Winona] Proposal to Move Winona Forum

[Tim Erickson]

I got the following question via email.

> Will the forum (Winona) continue to be e-mail based?

This is a very important question that I should have addressed. In  
fact, the reason that we like the Groupserver software so much, is  
that it is the BEST opensource software that we could find, that  
allows for complete EMAIL participation, but also allows those who  
wish to participate via the web to participate that way. Mailman (the  
software used for this forum now) does a great job for email only  
participants, however accessing the forum via the web or posting via  
the web is quite difficult (impossible). Once we move, you should be  
able to do both/either, depending upon your preference.

Members who like to participate via email will continue to be able to  
read AND post via email, without ever visiting our site. HOWEVER,  
those who don't want to get all the email, will be able to easily  
visit the site to read new messages AND post their responses via the  
web.

For those who choose, here are a couple of ways that you will be able  
to view the forum via the web:

Does this answer the question?

I look forward to seeing many of you on Thursday at 4:30 PM in the  
Accoustic Cafe.
