Forum/mailing list seem to be working

Forums: 

Now we have two solutions: SCIAROIDEA_L through McGill and forums on FGO

SCIAROIDEA_L:
advantages:
simple and straightforward
disadvantages:
sustainability
need to be advertise to catch audience
additional registration is needed to search/post through web interface

FGO forums:
advantages:
integrated into site
messages could be organised by categories/threads
secure messages through organic groups
disadvantages:
somewhat complicated administration

Am I missing something?

In Sciaroidea_l Messages are archived by thread (based on subject line) as well. I don't think that advertising should be a problem assuming we list it prominently as a resource on FGO (maybe mentioned somehow when someone signs up on FGO or on a resources page.). Also not sure what you mean by sustainability as a disadvantage. The listserv can remain in existence for as long as there is a McGill University.

I think the simple and straightforward nature of Sciaroidea_l is a selling point as this will draw people in. And it can easily be used in concert with FGO. I am on a number of other listservs that have an associated blog with forums. Subjects are often first addressed on the listserv and then once it has developed or gotten specific interested parties are encouraged to contribute to move discussion to a blog forum. I assume we could do the same thing with Sciaroidea_l and FGO.

Thoughts?
