Re: [Haskell-cafe] Maintaining the community

If anything, Usenet is even worse than mailing lists for volume, especially of spam. Also, very few sites maintain their nntp servers adequately these days - e.g. comp.lang.haskell has never made it to where I work.

I beg to differ. Of course, I'm an Usenet admin and involved in Usenet administration since years. Saing "no Usenet" is usually a sign of the famous "not invented here" syndrom. I'd sugest to keep the 30+ years experience with large volume distributed mass communication, instead of throwing good and infrastructure and user interfaces away. Wikis, Webformus and a lot of other Web 2.0 hypes are doomed to redo every mistake which is solved since 20+ years. MMDV.
