everything is cleaned up and its not too embarrassing

I would like to start a campaign on these forums for people to start releasing code when it's still at the "embarassing" stage. The number of times a thread ends with a post saying "I'll release it when it's tidied/not embarrassing/perfect" and no further code seems disturbingly high.

Embrace your code's imperfections in the face of its utility, release now!

In a month's time untidy, embarrassing code is still going to be a lot more useful to others than no code--it also probably won't impact your future employment/dating opportunities too much. :-)

I agree!  I think few of us are real professionals here and we're all here to learn, even a brain dump of imperfect information thrown back into the cloud is better than nothing at all, and we can all benefit from dissecting and optimizing what you've got so far.  

I discovered a couple of months ago that ELM Electronics has a single-chip LANC solution with a serial interface. It's not cheap ($15+, as I recall) but will be much easier to implement, given the lack of a real LANC library for the Arduino.

Thats called a mailing list, not a forum.
And they already have one.

I know, I'm so old fashioned.  I really loathe web-based forums.  There *are* some two-way email/forum gateways, probably available as plugins rather than in core code, but I'm pretty sure phpBB has something like that.

Where's this Arduino mailing list?

PS: you can instruct the forum to email you every time something gets added to a forum or topic

I can't even tell you how many times I looked for that stupid little button.  Of course it's right there...

If we're talking about migrating, how about a forum that allows two-way email, instead of just web-based forums?

Is there a way to subscribe to a forum, such that I'll receive a daily email of all threads that have been updated or created?  This forum software seems to be a little bit crippled...
