Hi! Why not have discussions in the ticket? In our projects we have been doing that for some time now (instead of the mailing list) and it showed beneficial: you keep all things in the one place, Trac also supports replies and quoting and most importantly afterwards everything is well documented in the same place. So when again the same question pops up you can just link a ticket where everything is there (while running up and down the discussion thread in mailing list archives depends on the archive engine and sometimes those links gets invalidated, patches (attachments) not archived, etc). It is easier to discuss code (as you have code formatting). People who are interested for change can also subscribe (CC) to it. And we also have a special mailing list where all changes to tickets go to so if somebody want to follow things in his/her mail reader it is still possible to do that. (And every mail there has a reply-to link, so it is easy to reply.) We could also require, that all tickets about library changes has to have libraries@haskell.org as CC to ease transition. Mitar
