texte = Hi Brian,As I'm sure you noticed, we can't send attachments with our messages to the list so it's tough to share code snippets or even little site frames. This may have slowed the sharing of our best scripts over the years so this is all about to change since we can post full HTML messages in the forum! This being said, the list saved my life time and again ; )I know it's hard to imagine a vibrant WebDNA community since, to this day, a simple Google search shows how this is badly missing but I'm convinced it will happen with http://webmaster.mbnx.net/ because quite frankly, we need it.The forum format might even bring more people to WebDNA since over time, we'll be posting some very valuable snippets and this will convince the watchers that the language really is easy to use and deploy.I hope this answers your message well,On Thursday, March 13, 2003, at 11:17 AM, Brian Fries wrote:> In the years I've been on this list, there have been a number of > attempts by various folks to establish alternative discussion systems > such as the nice forum you've got set up.
