Hoi.
well, i think RSS is quite a standard and there are possibilities to provide the swinog mailinglist also as RSS feed..
Whom does the RSS feed serve the most? Surely not the active part of the SwiNOG-Community. Those guys can just as well read the mails and answer to random topics they feel the need to.
RSS does not give you that possibility, you're readonly. A perfect excuse to just consume and give nothing back (information that is). I don't like that idea.
but anyway, a forum/blog is the wrong way... mail should be still the way of communication for swinog members ,-)
Mail is as easy and flexible that it's even readable on a cell phone or an old-fart PDA. Just because some of you have a shiny new Ogo or Mulberry (whatchamacallit?) does not mean everyone wants to replace his Palm IIIx now.
Finally, HTML-Mails with Flash and JavaScript do go the same way, so don't even think about coming up with THAT!
CU, Venty
