I recommend using whatever system they use. Keeps the community
together and gives everyone what they want.

Please do not take this personally, Adam, but I wouldn't give you a plugged nickel for that system. :slight_smile:

It's a perfect example of what I don't like about forums, and they just aggravate and frustrate me to death, because they waste my time in finding information.

I'm not going to list the why's and wherefore's here, that would be way too off topic.

But, if you've got a place where you'd like to banter the issue back and forth, I'm sure willing. I'd love to see open source projects succeed, but so far I haven't seen a project that I would recommend to the computer users I know. :frowning:

Hi :slight_smile:
It looks nice. Out-sourcing the forums to an OpenSource project such as
http://www.linuxquestions.org
or
https://answers.launchpad.net/
would put us alongside other existing OpenSource projects. There are a few
different options but it would take some skill and would need promoting on the
TDF and LO websites and that seems unlikely with such strong commitment to
reducing the available options for people.

Thanks for the link!

Which is precisely the reason I dislike forums. Way too many brainless
questions from users (and I use the term loosely) who barely know how to
turn on their computer.

+1 on that. They certainly don't know how to read simple unsubscribe
instructions.

So, you two guys stick to the mailing list.

Those who are brave enough will bother to answer the "brainless questions".

I think that a project that wants to be an alternative to MS Office can not
afford to snob on anyone.

(In fact that shouldn't happen in any project, but that is just my opinion)

#30

Or.... for the dozenth time... the project deploy a solution that makes
everyone happy - a federated forum / list solution. So people who for
whatever nutty reason find e-mail difficult to use can use a forum
interface and proficient user's can still use their e-mail client.
Everyone wins. Like as in <http://go-mono.com/forums/>

#31

Not only that, but that group is also the only ones bottom posting.

#32

Maybe you should make it..... "almost" everyone happy". :: grin ::

#33

Just thought I'd mention the Nabble interface, for those people who want a
forum-like interface. It's not perfect, but it's something.

Nabble just LOOKS like a forum.

Functionally, it's not. You have to subscribe to each "section" because each
is a separate mailing list.

If Mono works in the same way, then it's not an alternative.

Please TDF consider setting up an OFFICIAL forum!
