[Scottish] Mailing list to web interface

[Charles McCrimmon]

Rather strongly put, but i wholeheartedly agree with you, there was much
bickering over this topic on the mailing list in the past few weeks and
when a decent suggestion was made about it, no one could be bothered
speaking up <-- that included me by the way.

Personally i liked the suggestion, but rarely even read the mailing
never mind mail to it. 

But i can see your point, its no fun thinking of things to humour
everyone and then for that suggestion to be merely ignored with no
comment made upon it  

anyway just thought i would speak up

I suggested that we play a game on the whiteboard or something, and was met with a stony wall of apathy. I couldn't come up with any decent suggestions, as I didn't know what the kids wanted, yet when they were asked what they wanted, they didn't seem to give a toss and would rather remain bored and lifeless.

Why not ask the list?' on IRC, there has been SFA response from anyone else. Why bother now? I was inclined to help, but since it would appear that noone can even be arsed to even reply to an email with one word, I'm retracting the suggestion.

Since the mailing list is already replicated through gmane, it has been suggested that a NNTP to Web client is implemented on the scotlug site, possibly allowing two-way communciation to the list from the site.
