Re: Mirror [dominus]'s QOTW here?

I don't see much gain in mirroring a mailing list on this website. It's a lot of work, you have to direct the traffic from the mailing list to this site, format it, thread it, and you have to ferry the replies back to the list. The people on the list, used to seeing replies with relevant quoting won't be too pleased with the tendency of the people on this site to not quote.

It's much easier if people who want to participate just join the mailing list.

The perl-qotw list (as opposed to perl-qotw-discuss) only gets the quizzes and summaries; there would be no need to forward perlmonks postings to the list. Having the discussions here and on the -discuss list be completely separate is, I think, a necessary drawback for the reasons you list.	[reply]

If the discussion is completely separate, then, unless the person running the current quiz happens to frequent perlmonks as well, the summaries would not discuss anything that was discussed here. Abigail	[reply]
