The project is indeed very interesting. We already have a start of an archiver and we are working closely with the mailman guys to have something coherent with their idea.

The basic idea is to get an archiver running and add on the top of it the forum-like feature.

Maybe Nicu is right and adding the facebook-like feature (like/dislike) are of no use.
But I do think, tags and keywords are interesting even if only few people set them.

Anyway, the idea is to not change at all the current usage of mailing list but adding a new interface (web-based) to them.

This would also allow for example to just send an email to a list without registering to it and still be able to participate to the discussion.

the question is, how many of those features would be usable from inside the mail client? i.e. not force you to use the web interface to get equivelant functinality with the other users. and if most of the users will (hopefully) keep using the mail client as their mailing list interface, then many of those facebook-like features will simply have to little data to be useful.

Yes, there is a Google Summer of Code project starting, and I’ve seen committed work coming from the Fedora Engineering team.

Do you know if someone is currently working on implementing these ideas?

In the Mexicano mocha-style, I’ve had to dump in plain cocoa powder, which is the equivalent of pre-ground cardamom added. It does the job. (I’ll go in to the better choice for chocolate in the post on Monday.)

As it happens, last year I went whole-spice – I went through my cupboards and tossed (in to the compost) all the preground spices I had. I have a little dedicated spice grinder, and I’ve been grinding fresh for everything. Think of it as an extension of using a black pepper grinder instead of pre-ground black pepper. It takes a few minutes longer, but each time I use spices that way, I’m so glad that I take the time. For a bonus, toast the spices in a dry cast iron pan, for a light toast all the way through when a few curls of smoke come off.

Actually, +1 to cinnamon. In fact, it comes in my next post on what I’ve dubbed a Mexicano mocha, where I go a step further and add chocolate. It’s the what and how of the chocolate that makes the drink, so catch that post, which goes live Monday 30 April.

Love cardamom in coffee and tea. I just dump it in, though; I guess I’m less civilized.

Try adding cinnamon as well. That’s what they do in Syrie. Tastes a lot better than it might sound…
