Re: [jQuery] New Forums

The mailing list/forum admins can install Mailman and use their own mailing
list, and manage the spam themselves, without depending on a third party
mailing list provider.

A mailing list is more accessible than a forum for everyone, and there are
solutions for presenting the emails on a public web forum if this is wanted,
but I guess that the mailing list admins choosed the easiest solution, not
the best.
