Re^5: [emacs] googlegroup "emacs-perl-intersection"

[doom]

I always had the suspicion that talking about emacs in the monastery is considered OT by the majority ...

Yes... not exactly "off-topic", but it's a borderline case. I think there's social pressure against going too far into emacs/perl issues if you're on a forum that's dedicated to just one or the other... So I'm going to see if I can get a cross-over forum going for people who want to geek out about both. We will see how it goes...

I'm either not to eager to do it with google ...

At the moment I'm checking out if we can establish a English (or biligual) sub-board in http://www.perl-community.de/bat/poard/latest/24h

It's under active development, RSS, Mailsubscription, Syntax Highlighting Support for a bunch of languages (IMHO including ELISP) and it is Open Source.

Posting in English shouldn't be a problem...

BUT it's not a Mailinglist.

I don't mean to come on like a google cheerleader, myself. But I've been meaning to host this thing as a mailing-list on one of my own boxes for years now, but I've finally admitted to myself that I'm too lazy and I might as well bend my principles a little and go with something like google groups.

BUT it's not a Mailinglist.

And I kind-of like that feature myself... I'm going to stick with what I've got for a little while longer (I've only just begun recruiting), but all keep your alternate in mind.
