Thread:Talk:Development process improvement/Communications recommendations/Mailing list renaming/reply (2)

A general purpose search is more appropriate to my point. Regardless of where these discussions belong, many are where they are, and it's silly to break links to them if we don't have to. Mailing lists are actually some of the best ad hoc reference materials on the web, and we shouldn't diminish their role. Obviously, getting material onto wikis is better, but that isn't always realistic, and often the email conversation ends up being clearer to understand than documentation written to purpose.

Retiring lists generally seems fine, so long as we keep the archives around.
