...regarding the forums - naaaaa. What does that help?
Judging from myself, users don't like to have to subscribe to mailing
lists, especially when they don't need the list on a daily basis. E.g.
I would hate to get every question and answer in the Spring forums as
mail. I'd much rather check the forums every once in a while.
Use Gmane ;)
I am too lazy to always go and check forums.
With the tagging approach you would only have to
really subscribe once. ...and as I said - having feeds would be awesome.
I hate the fact I always have to subscribe to forums and
never liked the interfaces.
You misunderstood: Patrick told me that the 'special' feature of the
system that they use at OpenQA is that it can be used both as a
mailing list (e.g. for the developers) and a forum (for the users if
you want). Therefore, you'd register at a mailing list just as before
and have nothing to do at all with the forum-view, but users could
instead use the forum (and thus won't get all the - for them - noise).
And the system automatically maps between the mailing list and the
forum.
Basically Jive becomes a cool interface to the mailing list for those who
like it - not an alternative set of threads. Patrick was showing it to me
at ApacheCon - it seemed like a cool setup and he handled the various
"What ifs" I threw at him (imagining the kinds of things that would come
up on this list etc :) ).
