Hi, Looking at the great variety of communication channels offered by the CrystalSpace project, I think it is a bit overkill. We have both forums and mailing lists, and both options have areas for users and developers. This is problematic for the following reasons:
* Discussion gets needlessly fractioned. If people only use one of the two communication methods, he or she might miss discussions on the other which he/she might be interested in. * It splits the communication traffic between two channels, making them both look very low-traffic (the current CrystalSpace community is not *that* big to begin with). For this reason, I propose to make the forums the place for CrystalSpace user discussion, and leave the mailing lists to development discussion. This way, each of the interest groups are bundled in one communication channel, which removes the fractioning problem and increases the traffic per channel. What do you think? Regards, Denis P.S.: I think the organization of the forum topics should be revised to. There are way to many of them for the (comparatively) small user base that CrystalSpace currently has. Some of them could be merged, like "Project Discussion", "WIP Projects" and "Finished Projects", for instance. Also, considering there is Trac now, the "Bug Reports" topic probably shouldn't be there any more, should it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
