What's new that lists.sr.ht brings to the table? I only had a quick browse of https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-dev https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-dev, but as far as I could tell it looked like a pretty normal list of topic lines (like a typical web forum), and the e-mail conversations themselves are just the messages concatenated into one long page (e.g. https://lists.sr.ht/~emersion/mrsh-dev/%3C20180916165820.14491-1-sir%40cmpwn.com%3E https://lists.sr.ht/~emersion/mrsh-dev/%3C20180916165820.144...).
Is there something interesting and new about the way these mailing lists work that I'm not seeing?
- xeeeeeeeeeeenu 8y ago"Looking like a typical web forum" is a huge improvement compared to what e.g. GNU Mailman offers.
- Conan_Kudo 8y agoWell, Mailman 3 with HyperKitty looks more like some web forums. But Mailman 2 is quite dated...
- jordigh 8y agoI also like how DFeed looks. It's written in D and simultaneously serves forums, mailing lists, IRC and (lol) Usenet; all on an SQLite backend. It's also compiled to machine code, so it's pretty fast: https://forum.dlang.org/ https://forum.dlang.org/
- emersion 8y agoJust having this is a huge improvement over what most lists have (e.g. https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/ https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/). There are also patch formatting features that let you comfortably review patches: https://lists.sr.ht/%7Eemersion/mrsh-dev/%3C20180929203159.3219-1-sir%40cmpwn.com%3E https://lists.sr.ht/%7Eemersion/mrsh-dev/%3C20180929203159.3... The planned code review features (commenting a line, approving, applying a patch, reporting CI status) are also novel for mailing lists.
