There has been a discussion in the forums of having a cleaner directory structure for Drupal.
Would it be useful to bridge email-list content with corresponding forum content so that each community (the email-listers and the forum posters) could see each other's submissions automatically (and with zero change to their current mode of operation)? I suspect so. Right now I see two different Drupal communication areas (forums and lists) talking about the same thing, and it seems that it would be useful to merge the two areas. (Alas, this problem is duplicated only about a million times over in various web communities...well, I might embellish a bit with "a million," but probably not much.) Some existing solutions: Mail2Forum: http://mail2forum.com CM2F: http://www.digitalgraal.dynalias.net/ Someday I hope the world can agree on a global means sync email lists and forums (and other similar mechanisms like Usenet) with the same content. Until then: would it be useful for Drupal to implement something like this for its forums? -Matt
