Re: web structure

Hi,

I can see the different too, but it'll be a bit troublesome for some of us, 
because we have a lot of things to keep track of without the forum even. The 
integration with the mailing list doesn't mean that people need to register 
to the mailing list first before using the forum. They can just use the forum 
like usual, but all the entries will be sent to the certain mailing list, and 
people answering to the mailing list, will be posted to the forum. I hope I 
did not confuse you guys.

I don't say that it's going to be easy. I'm working on the new FAQ system 
during my spare time now. When FAQ is done, I'll be doing a bit for the 
multilanguage support, and we can start doing this and then fix the three 
structure, at least that's my priority. If anyone were to help with the 
development, then it'll be good.

Regards,

DeuX
