Re: Ozdotnet list

Steve, a brave suggestion. This group's traffic has decreased dramatically in recent years. I presume we're all world-class experts now and don't need to ask questions that often! A fresh forum with a modern UI and features sounds quite attractive, as opposed to an old fashioned e-mailing list,

Lol "classic asp.net mvc". It depends on what the client wants obviously but we've found mvc suits best for most projects we work on. On Sunday, 2 April 2017, Greg Keogh wrote: > Folks, I've been reading the results of search for things like "SPA vs > ASP.NET" and "why use

You'll be fine Greg. [] It has an email interface which shouldn't have any Javascript at all. This depends on your email reader, of course, but you don't use Javascript on that do you? I look forward to our world-class experts moving to the new platform so they can help the budding new

Re: Ozdotnet list

Some great feedback all. Given our current lists all have a .Net theme, along with the long standing history of Aus-dotnet (now Ozdotnet), I like the idea of sticking with the current Ozdotnet. And as suggested make it clear that any topic is fine, developers tend to be in all spaces these

Re: Ozdotnet list

As a non Oz developer (I'm in Auckland) I suppose I don't have much say. So I'll just add that my chief bug bear with of web boards is the utter shite most seem to have in terms of conversation threading, searching, and also the formatting of code. As long as these are good then I'd be happy to

Re: Ozdotnet list

That does worry me. First, I don't agree with broadening the scope of the list as it benefits from being niche. Secondly, moving to a new environment, while exciting, could spell the end of the list as many spectators won't bother making the move across. On 4 Apr 2017 1:02 PM, "Stephen Price"

I don't contribute here much either, but still read it whenever there's some interesting discussion. I welcome the move. However, I think most people would jump straight to their favourite search engines/StackOverflow when they have an issue. So I think that's part of why this last has become so

True there are many forums and always StackOverflow for getting answers. But there's only one OzDotNet. We have no competition on that front. From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com on behalf of Greg Keogh Sent:

Re: Ozdotnet list

So far no negative responses. We'll do some trialing to make sure Discourse is all it says. We do need to decide as a group of we wish to continue the focus on Aussie dotnet Devs, or expand it to include other Aussie developers. Is there a difference these days? Naming is important and

Re: Ozdotnet list

Yep, If we keep the actual list email address consistent then all we are changing is the implementation of said list. I think it's a good idea to keep the primary function of the elist as it is. Anyone currently subscribed to the list will be on the replacement. It should be the same list,

Re: Ozdotnet list

I have no problem with the move. I've been on this list since sometime around 2003/4. It's probably a bit ironic that a tech focused list is a bit behind in the tech department. Suggestions from me: 1. Open it up a bit rather than be focused on .net but make sure its made clear what category

Re: Ozdotnet list

I've used discord a little (and noticed the slack similarities) but I am not sure it would replace the elist (our primary goal is to 100% replicate the current functionality). I checked and discord has a feature request to implement email integration (2 votes), so I think its a different

Ive been a lurker here for a long time (around 2003). I enjoy the banter and conversations. Moving to another platform probably would encourage me to participate more. Has anyone considered using discord (similar to slack but free)? I know its mainly a gamer environment but I believe it would

Re: Ozdotnet list

If Discourse tags conversations like other typical modern forums, then we can have lots of easily identifiable sub-topics like .NET, C#, F#, Xamarin, Android, WPF, VB Sucks, OT, etc. There are a hell of a lot of forums for IT, far too many I think, so we'll have lots of competition and will need

Ozdotnet list

It's been some years since the big move to Mr Connors gracious hosting of the eList. Thanks for that by the way David! For whatever reason it lives on, despite the low traffic. Perhaps it's the entertainment value of people who live/vent there. Hard to measure. I expect David would have a way

I know I don't contribute much but I do support the move although the move will likely not increase participation in itself. If you want to increase participation then we will need to promote the echoes and if at all possible gain some support from generous benefactors. Getting a web site
