List Server / E-mail Discussion Groups

Our users have been asking for discussion forums for our products and now they're here! Raining Data Corporation is proud to introduce several user discussion groups that will focus on specific areas of interest.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

These groups are e-mail based, maintained by a list-server. Here are the FAQs about the format and other matters.

The Multivalue community has an open Usenet Newsgroup, comp.databases.pick. This group has been and continues to be a central location for discussions related to all products based on the Pick database model, including Raining Data products. The groups provided here at Raining Data are not intended to replace comp.databases.pick, but to supplement the information found there, facilitate very focused inquiries and discussion on specific Raining Data products, provide alternate access (e-mail vs usenet) to community-based product discussions, and also to provide a more direct and official channel for information from Raining Data to our customer base. We encourage "community-oriented" participation in comp.databases.pick in addition to the "content-oriented" forums provided here.
