New NHibernate users mailing list setup, join now! Operators are standing by.

I'm always finding myself Googling an answer to a question about NHibernate (either that or I fire off an email to Oren, although I think I've used up all my chits with him now). The SourceForge project has a mailing list (several of them actually) but they're really aimed at development of NHibernate, not the use of it. I found that a little odd.

There are the NHibernate User Forums here, however I'm just finding online forums don't work very well. Rather than being able to get emails on my mobile device and respond, I have to log into a web page (usually remembering my username/password) and sift through what's there. With email I can keep it organized either through Gmail or whatever and be able to keep the stuff I like. I'm not trying to subvert the forums and I realize there may be some backlash from this, I'm just trying to provide an alternative. We'll see how it goes.

I created a new mailing list on Google Groups for NHibernate Users. Here's the blurb:

Users of NHibernate unite! This group is aimed at people using NHibernate and looking for tips, tricks, or just want to ask a question. Post your code on how you use NHibernate or share some experiences with it here. Good, bad, or ugly, this is the place for it!

If you're interested in talking about NHibernate and using it, feel free to hook up here. Hopefully this might cut down the Googling everyone has to do for the same questions and provide a bit of a focused group for discussion.

P.S. The group is set to moderate your first post. This is to confirm your carbon based status in the world. Flip me an email if you're human and I'll approve you.

Enjoy!

Sweet Jayzus, it's like you knew I needed it at this very moment.

Excellent idea. Usage discussions of NHibernate are hard to come by. It'll be nice to have some NHibernate specific discussions without invading the likes of the alt.net mailing list.

Just signed up but when trying to post got the following:

You do not have permission to post to group nhusers. You may need to join the

group before being allowed to post, or this group may not be open to posting.

I wish you would have done this a year ago.
