What If nbusers Were a Forum?

What would the nbusers mailing list look like if it was a forum? Exactly like the Nabble NetBeans User Forum. Because the Nabble forums are subscribed to the mailing list: Everything you post on the nbusers list shows up on the forum, and every forum post shows up on nbusers!

I didn't know Nabble existed, this is pretty cool if you want to follow on-going discussions, search archived threads, or just ask or reply now and then without receiving all the copies in your inbox. You do need to register with Nabble once, but then you can post to and read all mailinglists there.

And naturally it's not only nbusers, there are also lots of other NetBeans forums -- for Open API, Java EE, NB dev, Enterprise Pack, Java Mobility, user interface, Weekly Netbeans News (announcements, blog entries and articles of the week) and a few more. Here's an overview of all NetBeans Forums -- check them out!

To post or reply messages on Nabble forums, it requires the user to be subscribed to the mailing list (as any nbusers user), but the email delivery can be turned off.

GMane is a forum backed feeded mailing list, as Nabble. The message are organized in 2 different ways, take a look.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of this detail! And yes, GMane is of course still another valid option.

Ruth, Nabble looks great! How did you hear about it? :-)

:-p I herewith officially thank Gregg Sporar for pointing out the existence of Nabble to me, and apologize for forgetting to mention his name as the source of the information!

Why not read Gregg's blog and give him feedback about what you think of the new Profiler features like Heap Walking!

(Better?) :-)
