Hi again,
I have seen something called "Forums" in other projects.
It's a bit like the bug-reporting place. Rather than getting bombarded by vast
amount of irrelevant emails the user actively goes to the sites. Good ones
allow people to subscribe to specific threads about particular issues. The
threads are sorted into sub-categories within main categories that could be the
main groups. There can even be a column that shows how recently the last post
appeared in a sub-category so that people can keep an eye on what are active
issues. Something like
Documentation Team
Collaboration with other lists
New members
Screen-shots
Writer
Calc
Draw
Base
OOo & ODFauthors
Devs Team
New members
Javascript
DocX compatibility
Base
Users
DocX compatibility
Side-by-side with OOo (or another LO version)
Stability in 3.4.x branch
Installing
Training & Documentation
Steering-Discuss
New members
Training
Governance, Rules and T&Cs
Licences
Branches & forks
OOo
Obviously there would be a LOT more per group and some of those sub-categories
might need to contain sub-sub-categories just like any filing system.
The main point is that someone might want to hear all about Writer and
compatibility with other projects but might be completely dis-interested in
hearing anything about Base = or the other way around. People might pop-in to
ask 1 question about some minor issue and not want to hear detailed
blow-by-blow
accounts of how 500 other users are dealing with other minor issues.
If we used forums rather than mailing lists i might be able to get involved in
some real work here. At the moment i don't.
Regards from
Tom :)

A tool might improve collaboration, if people are aware what
could/should be done best by whom.
A tool does only pretend to improve collaboration if people are not yet
aware that there is a need for collaboration.

Not - yet. As told somewhere else in the thread(s) - I'm going to think
about improvements later and then start discussion (needs to be
discussed with more developers). This is not necessarily a topic for the
SC, I much prefer the community to be self-organizing.
regards,
André
