Dear Ven. Yuttadhammo,
I took a look and registered, it looks very promising. Those of you
with gmail or openID, you can use those accounts to register very
quickly (it took me less than 2 minutes to set up a user account,
confirm my gmail address, and be able to "vote up" topics on that pali
proposal group). I haven't used that stackexchange service before, but
just a quick look at it I can see it has some extremely nice features
that addresses many of the serious inadequacies of the email list and
typical web forum formats.
Ven. Yuttadhammo, please keep us informed whether that group
proposal passes and becomes a functional pali forum.
Metta,
Frank
