Hi,

What kind of issues do you have in mind if we restrict to yade-users members the possibility of asking questions ?

Jerome

Hi there,
I totally agree with Bruno. Moving to github is not a good idea in my opinion for the same reason Anton gave, at least if we can manage this in an other way.
Unfortunately I dont have a constructive idea how to handle it.

Betreff: Re: [Yade-dev] Spam on the mailing list

I don't know how launchpad handles spammers, can we ban some accounts on the mailing lists we are managing?
I don't think restricting posting rights of everyone but team members is the right way to solve the problem. It has to remain open access IMO.

Hi Jerome,

thanks for raising this question. For both groups we
have several administrators, including me, Bruno, Jan and
I have added you also as admin. If there are also some
more proposals, let`s implement them.

If Launchpad will be too painful, we can move most of stuff
to GitHub. I would like to escape it, because we have thousands
of messages on LP, but if it will work too bad... Let`s see.

Best regards

Anton
