<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi all,<br>
<br>
I just caught up on the thread about communications, so here's a
reply to several things that were said:<br>
<br>
* Yes, I am the admin of Commonhouse.net, the server that hosts
the Cuis list. I don't administer the list itself, Juan does that.
Thanks for mentioning me, Hernan -- I'm glad to provide service to
the Smalltalk community. It is not entirely free, the server keeps
running through donations, but the suggested donation amounts are
very low because our costs are low and the labor is free. For
those that are curious, Commonhouse has been running since 1998.
We've out-lived most other free or low-cost services, and we
aren't going away anytime soon.<br>
<br>
* We don't put disk quotas on our users. Some use a little, some
use a lot. Cuis could use more with no complaint from me.<br>
<br>
* I don't know how other people's phones' email clients work, but
my phone does not download the entire email if it has image
attachments. It shows me the text and a button to download the
image if I want to see it.<br>
<br>
* Screen shots are generally pretty small. PNGs compress well, and
you can get a lot in less than 1MB. That used to be a lot, but in
today's world that is pretty small.<br>
<br>
* Though it's a decision for the Cuis community to make, I
personally am in favor of mailing lists over web forums and am in
favor of allowing screen shots to be emailed through the list as
part of the messages, because sometimes a screen shot or two is
the best way to communicate something. Probably not videos,
though. :-)<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

<div dir="auto">With the recent thread on the use of this
mailing list as a communication medium, I was wondering if
GitHub Discussions had been considered, in order to take
advantage of the benefits it brings, namely threaded
discussion, easy media inclusion in posts, searchability,
conversion to GitHub issues, free hosting, etc. The venue
can support email posting, as described here, <a

<div dir="auto">Seeing that the Cuis project already uses
GitHub to a great degree, IMO it would make sense to use
the discussions part of the service as well.</div>
