Hi,
I have set up a forum that mirrors the ruby-talk and rails mailing
lists:
If you notice problems or have any suggestions, please send me a mail.

Yes, very. This might become the preferred way to monitor this list

-
a way to rank/vote for threads would be an immense resource to the
communtiy.
a collection of the most popular threads would be such a great
learning tool -
you could seed it with the 100 largest and let the voting take off
from there.ideally there would be a way to vote from the list itself… eg a
message
with the bodyruby-talk ranking : 99
or some simple way so we don’t have to pull up web browsers to do it.
-
people with non-threading muas should be banned from being archived
on the
site.
cheers.

Yes. This is very nice. And I love the suggestion for voting.
I’d also like to see user modifyable tags if possible.
Then we can categorize posts and make it really easy to search them.
I love how simple the design is.

Why, exactly? People may use any method they prefer, but what’s wrong
with ruby-talk.org, google-groups, gmane, the newsgroup gateway, or the
actual mailing list?
I find forums to be the most inefficient way to manage information of
all of the above.

An advantage that the web forum adds is that it sorts threads by date of
most recent posting, rather than first post. (I wish Thunderbird had
that option.) Another is that it’s both portable (thin-client) and
personal (keeps track of read/unread via your username).
I’ll keep using the mailing list, myself; I’m just trying to answer your
question.

This is a wonderful piece of software.
A few features I would like to see:
-
It needs a RegEX to remove all email addresses from the message body
([email protected] → john.doe@…) -
While removing the email addresses, it should scan them to see if any
of
the registered members have that email, if so then link to that user to
send
them a private message -
Notifications. This is one of the main things that I would see greatly
shifting me to use the site primarily. Within my user preferences, to be
able to customize my key words and add flags. So if someone mentions
“Engines” I get a notification sent to me, with the thread that has
accumulated already. When new messages arrive to threads I have already
received, I only receive the pieces that are new. -
Someone else said this already, but I want to emphasize how sweet it
would
be to track all messages by a certain email (whether they are registered
or
not) as well as registered members. It would also be great to include
this
in the search feature as well, to be able to filter the messages by
user.
There are a few key people that I would like to keep tabs on In
addition,
when viewing a profile, to list all the recent posts by this user. -
Someone mentioned this already as well, to be able to categorize the
message threads by tag. Allowing people to tag things with similar style
to
that of de.licio.us, whereby there is a list of recommended tags
available
below the input which scans the email and grabs the keywords based on
the
index of tags already. Actually, automated tagging would be sweet. Where
people don’t have to actually tag anything, it just scans the message
for a
index of keywords and whatever ones it finds, it tags it with. So if
someone
says “Engines” in there message, or “ActiveRecord” or “AR”, then the
message
gets tagged. -
Users could add additional index tags if they feel its necessary, such
as
“acts_as_authenticated”, or “ACL”.
In all, these would only make what you have done that much better. But
even
without these suggestions, it’s a great tool. Nice work!
Warmest regards,
Nathan.

I could list a whole lot of things I find very wrong with gmane…
What about google-groups?

Seriously, I don’t subscribe to the Rails list, because the traffic
is too much for me, in addition to Ruby T… I do sometimes need to
search there or ask questions and this will be quite perfect for that.
Just one opinion.

In unthreaded mode, all the posts are intermingled. Right now, I’m
looking at Re: Rmagic 1.9, Re: Heirarchy T…, Re: [ANN] Ferret, Re:
rubycocoa, Re: Forum, etc. in the message index pane. I prefer,
actually, to sort by Order Received because senders’ mail clients often
lie (or are confused) about the current datetime.
In threaded mode, posts are grouped together and put in pretty threads.
However, a thread that was created at the dawn of time stays at the very
bottom my list, even if it was just replied to a minute ago. Since I
only read about 30% of ruby-talk, that means I’d never notice it, 'cause
it’s just another old unread message. Rather, if threads were sorted by
most recent posting, I’d see it as I scroll by the new posts, and get
to decide what I want to do with it. (You can argue about the utility of
this feature with yourself, but it is [AFAIK] different from what
Thunderbird provides.)

I didn’t see the Rails mailing list there. Please correct me if I’m
wrong.

Nope. That’s the Ruby T. mailing list, which I already have
bookmarked. It’s the “Rails mailing list” I can’t find there…
