Better than email in a number of ways.
1. All the information is searchable and provides a quick reference repository.
2. Knowledge is preserved, on a longer term level, so if I forget something Lon Rombaugh said about grapes, it is here rather than storing it in my personal email inbox.
3. Information is dealt with on a 'I want to know this' level. In an email list I have to read a paragraph or two of words un-important to me before I know to hit the 'delete' button.
You will need lots and lots of forum channels to cover everything discussed on this list; and then additional channels, to cover comments that apply to more than one species and/or more than one topic. Such posts are common on this list.
4. Information is subdivided automatically into semi-pertinent groupings. Several forum channels can be created for; Apples, Pears, Prunes, Grapes, etc, etc so I can find information faster.
5. We have a living, breathing recorded history of your knowledge and wisdom. Right now it is definitely NOT that.
If somebody passes on to that great orchard in the sky, all of their sound, sage advice is still preserved right here.See comments under 2.
Plus we have these COOL smiley things!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now c'mon you gotta love that!! Razz Razz Razz RazzRazzberry, as in the Bronx version. I don't care about smileys one way or the other (unless they blink, in which case I dislike them).
