      I've got two questions:

      1. What should be discussed in the forums/discussion hub vs on the data modeling email list?  For example, the discussion around the Person topic has a bunch of stuff which is very similar to things that get discussed on the list and I can't really tell what is appropriate for which medium?

      2. I just discovered replies to comments that I posted several months ago.  I'm pretty sure that I never got email notification of them, but that could have been operator error.  Are notifications turned on by default?  Do notifications result in email or do they just add an entry to the tab on my main discussion hub page (ie I have to log in to see if anything happened)?

        Hi, Tom.
        1. The forums are good places for discussing specifics of a topic, type, or domain, especially for communicating with a user on his or her page, or as the owner of a domain. The data-modeling list is a good place to discuss general issues, ask for help with a model, or to alert people to changes.
        2. We don’t have e-mail notification for discussion posts. You can ask for an RSS feed of the posts on any particular topic, and your Freebase home page will show replies to you.
        Since we at Metaweb are all users of this system, we are aware of the challenges in tracking discussion. We are working on better communication tools, so stay tuned.
