Todd listed two improvements we could get by moving L-CAD to Lugnet:

- Real threading
- Archiving, searching, and back-browsing

I look forward to get them.

I too am interested whether others find looking at email as well as news
groups frustrating. Although I don't find it frustrating, and I did not even
known that the Listserver chokes (until Steve mentioned it), I am only one

People...comments?

Considering the listserver problems, I'm willing to move it to Lugnet,
J.R.P. be darned.

Me too.

This isn't the place to decide about piping L-CAD to lugnet.  It needs
to be discussed on L-CAD.

Yes. Will you put a suggestion together? Here's a start:


We suggest that the L-CAD mailing list is moved to the Lugnet server.
Part and software development will be discussed on

   lugnet.cad.developers / lugnet.cad.developers@lugnet.com

User questions will be handled on

   lugnet.cad.users      / lugnet.cad.users@lugnet.com

All subscribtions will (if possible) be moved automagically to both lists
on the Lugnet server.

We see a number of benefits from this move:

1) It will also be possible to read the discussion on the web or with a
    newsreader.
2) We will separate developer and discussions.
3) It will become easier to search for old messages.


Can/should we transfer the L-CAD archives to the newsgroups?


Play well,

Jacob

(...) Sure. If you will mail them out (assuming you have an easy & efficient way to paste all of the subscribers' e-mail addresses into a message. Otherwise, let's wait until L-CAD is back online).
