Pranam. Last week in JainList we had knowledgeable and profound discussions between Shri Vijay Mehta and Shri Sreepalanji. JainList has reached another phase in its existence. To make a transformation into this new phase, changes are required in the way JainList functions. I request every JainList member to reply to these questions and help the group in making this transition. 1) What are the things that you like about JainList? 2) What are the things that you dislike about JainList? 3) What new things / improvements would you like to see? This is very important. Please provide your feedback. JainList is the largest discussion group and in order to maintain the quality, relevance and utility of discussions we need to brainstorm on how we can make improve the shortcomings that are there in the present system. If you have any queries before you can give your feedback please feel free to contact me.
