[FLOW3-general] Best Practice for a plugin-based app in flow3

[Zach Davis]

I'm not wild about forums either, to be honest. However, I think there's 
an important distinction between newsgroups and mailing lists. Few 
people in my office routinely read the TYPO3 newsgroups because doing so 
requires using thunderbird or some dedicate newsgroup reader (apple mail 
doesn't do it, last I checked). Many people in my office subscribe to 
mailing lists, which can be read by anyone with an email address.

The nice thing about google groups is that they are familiar and both 
developers and users likely already follow other groups. You lose that 
familiarity when you make people download a newsgroup client and 
configure it to access the group. Not the end of the world, but TYPO3 
and FLOW3 aren't so popular these days where it's number one problem is 
figuring out how to increase the barrier to entry to keep down the 
number of questions.
