I think this is a great change. A normal thredded view archive on the list, and the availability of web posting will get even more people involved. Lists that deal with scripting, etc would really really benefit from this, as sited developers who don't want a full inbox could be involved.

Talking on an unrelated matter this morning with a list member got me thinking that perhaps the JFW list could stand a much more readable, searchable, and overall useable archive system. No offense to Freelists, their service is awesome, but it was brought to my attention a forum-like interface might be more conducive to people finding the information they need, and being able to follow a thread as it develops instead of being restricted to message by message. To that end, I give you a potentially new archive system. It's in place on a trial basis at the moment, so that we can determine exactly how useful it would be to us. If it's agreed generally there's more of an advantage to using it, I'll go ahead and start the process of moving all of the list message over that were posted before this morning, and we can rely solely on that forum. For those of you curious, the link is: http://n2.nabble.com/JAWS-for-Windows-f2145279.html I'll update the archive link to include that one momentarily.
