<p>Currently Thunderbird communication channels are a bit
scattered. Some consolidation has been discussed on various
forums, but no decisions have been made so far. I'm writing this
to get a wider feedback on some of the changes up for
discussion.</p>

mailing list</a>

<li>Would remain/become the main channel of general

<li>Would preferably be moving to topicbox like many of <a

nicer web UI then mailman lists)</li>

<p>Does topicbox have the same level of moderation available as the
mailing list? Although I suspect we haven't needed it a lot
currently, I would be wary of moving to something where we loose
the capabilities we have now - in case that does become necessary
in the future.<br>
</p>
<p>Personally, I also find topicbox has many issues. One in
particular that I do find confusing is the lack of sub-thread
capability. That's fine if you're just using the UI or just the
mailing list side, but then when you're trying to mix the two, the
UI becomes really confusing.</p>

<p>What would be the point of the newsgroup? What would it actually
cover? The only things I've noticed being discussed there recently
would possibly be better discussed on the maildev discussion
list...</p>
<p>As far as I'm aware, the newsgroups also lack moderation
capabilities.</p>
