I amsterdam!!! Dale,
I agree, it's a beast, but from what I saw we only need limited funtionality: -wiki for the documentation. -a menu with shortcuts and some pages for : hardware, autheurs, background etc etc -faq with the possibility of suggestions -image gallery -for the plugins: file-admin and attachments. It has a good and solid security, a "anti-bot" mechanism and protection of email-adresses setup of groups: -anomynous -webadmins (users administring the webinterface) -document-admins (users for administring the documentation) and ofcourse the "admin" skins: We only need one: why putting effort in giving everyone it's own skin, Freevo is ment to be a public website............. I just got blue and white, some background pictures from freevo.sf.net in the main stylesheet, a few new header tags...............et voila......the same as the current freevo site forum: The main disadvantage of a forum in general is the lack of support for 1) incomming email 2) not searchable for google and other search machines (or at least not that good) 3) a developper has to put in more effort to answer a question over a forum 4) a forum has allways more downtime as a maillinglist. 5) by integrating http://www.mail-archive.com/freevo-users%40lists.sourceforge.net/ in the website, i'am sure that something can be done on that a perfect lookup tool can be created for searching. if a forum is wanted, i guess the best is phpBB2 it's commonly used and stable, but every forum i frequently visit was "often" down......stability of a mailinglist is unbeatable Dale, i 've sent you seperat email with a sneak preview and a username/password by the way look at my input as "discussing" for gathering different point of views, that's all................
