The data there only confirm what I was thinking. Jive forums are not 
used for posting (statistically they generate few percents of the 
content) and while being slow, buggy (breaking threads), obeying 
subscribe-to-post rule, and generating confusion (there are no jive 
forums for all mailing lists), I'm asking again:

Why don't we get rid of them "right now(tm)" ?

I'm willing to do the cleanup if anyone wants to mentor me.

Step #1: replace all links on opensolaris.org/os/discussions to point to 
mailmain archives and mailman listinfo page

Steo #2: add missing mailing lists

Step #3: delete jive from production servers...

am I missing something or am I the only one who wants to have a nice, 
clean and usable webpage for opensolaris?

What additional value do the jive forums bring right now when compared 
to pure mailman?

thanx for your opinions,
Martin
