[Twisted-Python] Forum vs. mailing list

[Hegedus, Matthew S]

Philippe Lafoucrière mentions his favoring of a forum over a mailing list. A
forum sounds much better to me. Topics can be nicely separated, past
knowledge can be easily searched, and email inboxes can be freed from much
clutter (or at least make room for spam). Is it not too late to implement a
forum?

I'm sure too. But I proposed a long time ago (and several times) to use a
forum instead of a mailing list...

I thought of using the setUp method of page. I can start the calculation
when the page loads, but I don't know what to call (in the callback) when
it's done (a wmfactory_xxx ?). I'll check the threading part you gave me.
Thank you !
