<div dir="ltr">Coming from the Csound community, which has a very active mailing list that seems to be the main channel of communication, I thought the ChucK community seemed pretty dead from the low volume of list mail. I also found the forum, but it's not laid out well to find the latest conversations, seems pretty archaic by modern web design standards, and has many threads where the last updated date is many years old. In short, it also looks dead.<div><br></div><div>It seems that people are doing things, but communication is not well organized.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Nov 5, 2018 at 2:20 PM Michael Heuer <<a href="mailto:heuermh@gmail.com">heuermh@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div>Heh, I’m also on the forum but not on Facebook.
