Discussion about communication modes
Posted: Jul 8th, '12, 04:58
why are mailing lists & chats the preferred modes for the development teams?
My best guess would be that the primary reason is mostly tradition at this point [because it's always been done this way]
There would certainly be more transparency on a forum, individual sections devoted to each team, the participants of each team would be the only members able to post on their respective section(s)
I've considered joining documentation & helping with the wiki
the thought of joining a mailing list, let alone an IRC, leaves me cold
Just keeping up with the conversation, tends to require a fair investment of time
whereas a forum, would allow me to only follow the threads that interest/involve me
I do realize that I'm free do some minor edits on the wiki
