This is a misunderstanding. Of course the mailing lists should be part of
MathAction just as they are now. So, to be precise, MathAction should - in my
opinion - be the door through which the users and developers of Axiom enter the
Axiom house. The various medias -- printed books and articles, the wiki, the
mailing lists should be all accessible through this portal.
Of course, when you know the shortcut, i.e., you know already how to get to the
mailing list, then nobody requires you to use the main entry.
Is this clearer?
I thought that you know that I prefer the mailing lists for discussion. The
Wiki should be a medium where we summarize the discussions for those that did
not follow.
