On a DEC-20, under TOPS 20, there is a rudimentary bulletin board feature
provided by the BBOARD subcommand of the MM program -- are there better
tools for distributing information, posting questions (or bug reports), and
maintaining group discussions ?

To be more explicit, our present arrangement (which I'd like to improve)
involves
1. the MM program,
2. a directory, PS:<BBOARD>, to which any user can mail stuff and
whose MAIL.TXT file is publically readable via MM's BBOARD command,
3. miscellaneous subject.TXT files in PS:<BBOARD> which contain
items I move from the MAIL.TXT file or postings first mailed
directly to me -- these are also readable via MM's BBOARD command.

Perhaps it is naive to look for `solutions' to problems involving human
communication, but I would like to reduce mechanical impediments.
Thanks for any help/advice/tips,
Dick
