[Xerte] non coders?

[Julian Tenney]

There is a ning community: xerteusers.ning.com. I set it up, and left it
to see what would happen.

Alistair and Ron are setting up a forum called Xerte for Teachers, with
an emphasis on the non-technical aspects of developing content - I'm not
sure where it is - Alistair? Ron?

The list vs forum is down to personal choice I think. I've used mailing
lists for so long I don't really think twice about them. I prefer not to
have to visit each thread in a forum to see what's been posted,

The archives are searchable from here:

Hello All

I would agree with Mark on one level - a forum is much easier to search
and often one can benefit from old discussions. I don't mind the coding
discussions as I feel that subliminally I am absorbing some of it. A bit
like listening to a foreign language - eventually it sticks!

I guess that these mailing lists are easy to manage whereas a forum
might not. Would a Ning Community be of any use?

Hi all, as a newby using xerte and someone with limited coding skills
the emphasis on coding issues on this list is a bit daunting and
currently a bit meaningless. I was wondering if at some point the use of
a forum would help people new to xerte browse through topics aimed at
them. Searching the list  works but I'd find it much easier to scan
through a topic list under a category. It also means I might spot a
topic of interest.

So I guess my question is why the list and not a forum?

Cheers

Mark
