Where to post? Too many options?
Where should I post, to the forum or to the mailing list? I've been posting to the rockbox-dev list with any general dev or build questions. Lately, I realized there's an online forum. Where should we be posting? I prefer the lists, mostly because I only need to monitor two: rockbox and rock-dev; I just look at what's new in my inbox and read any with interesting-to-me subjects. With the forum, there are several sub-fora. Is there a convenient way to see all new forum post, regardless of the sub-forum posted to? Having multiple options are great, but I'm worried with mailing list, fora, and irc, one risks either annoying people by posting the same thing multiple places, or having my posts never seen by users of the modalities I don't post to. On a related issue, it would be nice to get email notification of new patch-tracker topics (there's probably a setting for this that I need to figure out). And tailored notification of CVS modifications -- e.g., right now button.* and lcd*.* are of interest to me, but in the future other things will be my current focus -- would be nice. And wiki mod notification would be nice too. I'm rambling, but my point is, we're seeing a localized explosion of modalities and information, and I'd like some way to get something like an RSS feed or (better) email notification. This is probably a local symptom of a generalized info glut requiring a generalized solution, and no doubt the guy to come up with an answer will make a fortune. Is there a specific answer for rockbox, or a general answer?

Or is additional coding required to take advantage of the additional memory? AFAIHUI, the whole point of that patch is to enlarge the buffer used for compressed audio for 64MB iPods, so yes Rockbox will take advantage of that automaticall and load many (more) tracks at once into memory. -- Daniel Stenberg -- http://www.rockbox.org/ -- http://daniel.haxx.se/

I personally prefer the lists too. it would be nice to get email notification of new patch-tracker topics (there's probably a setting for this that I need to figure out). Subscribe to the rockbox-sf mailing list, it gets mailed on all patch tracker changes and submissions: http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox-sf tailored notification of CVS modifications -- e.g., right now button.* and lcd*.* are of interest to me I would suggest you subscribe to rockbox-cvs and filter the mails on the subject to show you the ones you are interested in: http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox-cvs And wiki mod notification would be nice too. I believe it is possible with some plugin to twiki, but so far we haven't tried anything like that. we're seeing a localized explosion of modalities and information, and I'd like some way to get something like an RSS feed or (better) email notification. I expect the explosion to continue even more as the amount of both users and developers are still increasing. We've surpassed the point in which most of the core devs could keep up with most of all public discussions that concerned Rockbox. This is the natural development of a project growing big. -- Daniel Stenberg -- http://www.rockbox.org/ -- http://daniel.haxx.se/
