Discussion Forums/Request For Comment: Difference between revisions

Discussion Forums are synchronized from email to nntp newsgroups (the Usenet), hosted at [nntp://news.mozilla.org/ nntp://news.mozilla.org/]. These newsgroup messages are synced by Google Groups and in turn provide a web interface to post responses that then show up correctly as expected on the email list. For various reasons, Google Groups has had trouble [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=716007 reliably syncing posts] from our newsgroups, in particularly new Forums that get created from time to time. This inconsistency causes confusion and fragmentation of the conversation, and ultimately frustration.
