Hi, sorry if this is obvious, but is this list now redundant? Should I be using the ggogle groups list? -- -- Robin Becker

What are the advantages to using the google group, I've not signed to it, and would be interested in knowing what it adds to decide in the move. For now this list is just good enough and I would appreciate it things could get posted at both.

I hope I didn't start a problem with this list... I propossed its creation in the old user's list because I saw that It took too long to get updated and it was uncomfortable to browse and find information in it. Everybody seemed to be happy with the idea, so I started the new one. Rodrigo, if you think this is not convenient, please let us know what to do...

I think it's up to us (everyone subscribed to any one of the two lists) to decide. user@... currently has 77 subscribers (excluding me). boolang has 27 (again excluding me). The question is, why would the remaining 50 subscribers (assuming there's a total overlap between the two resources which I'm not sure is true) migrate to boolang? AFAICS: 1. boolang has instantaneous google style searching; 2. boolang has a very useable web UI; 3. ?? Are these two points enough to justify an exodus? You decide... Rodrigo
I think that the Boo Mailing List should be abandoned. Already the traffic on the boo users list has died out in favor of everyone using the Boo Language group. Of course, the additional benefit is that you can subscribe and have threads sent to your e-mail address if you don't like the web UI, so there's no difference for people who prefer their e-mail client.

Now, just in case I come off that way, I did not mean to be particularily egomaniacal about the matter. Its just that the Boo Mailing list, for all its members, is relatively dead quiet with more and more people using the Boo Language Newsgroup instead. Also, people seem more inclined to respond to the newsgroup posts than the mailing list posts. I'm not harshing on the people who favor the mailing list, mind you, but this is basically how i see it: My GMail inbox is full of e-mails tagged "Boo Newsgroup" and there's only one "Boo List" e-mail on the front page, and this one is it.

I don't need the extra hassle. I don't know what the problem is, but perhaps the "beta" should make people pause before leaping. I'm not a fan of google's policy of demanding cookies, but even though I relent and allow them I cannot get the interface to work. I can sign in, but not join the group.

I'm sending an invitation directly to you from Google to join the group. If that doesn't work, I can manually add your email address to the group. Just let me know.

Seems I had blocked not only www.google.com, but google.com & groups-goo.... etc etc. After searching through all my blocked cookies it seems I can make it work through the web. Thanks anyhow. -- -- Robin Becker
