Cutting down the number of places one has to go to discuss our stuff is
the real reason.
What it's NOT about is editorial control. Consider that I'm given
complete editorial autonomy over two blogs with the Tucows logo in
their headings and under the tucows.com domain. No minders, no approval
from the powers-that-be, just me.
(Those blogs, by the bye, are:
- "The Farm" at http://farm.tucows.com and
- "IndieGameDev" at http://indiegamedev.tucows.com.)
What we *cannot* do is continue with a messy communications system
where you have to use a mailing list for product X, a different mailing
list for product Y and a forum system for product Z. Hence this
migration plan.
I am collecting feedback, so as they used to say on TV, "keep those
cards and letters coming!" You can do so via either the mailing lists,
the discussion forums or by emailing me privately at
jdevilla@tucows.com.
