Sorry Adrian, I've missed your reply because I'm not watching this forum, so I posted the following to jboss-dev after having seen yet another user message in the IIOP forum: anonymous wrote : | This happens again and again: it seems almost nobody reads the "Sticky: DO NOT POST USER QUESTIONS HERE" post, in the "Design of JBoss IIOP on JBoss" forum. http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=170 | | If you look at the forum posts almost all of them are user questions. | | I think we just need a User - CORBA/IIOP forum. |
I agree there is not a forum for a lot of things, but if there is one (like dev-iiop) people will go there no matter how many sticky posts you put, simply because they believe this is the most relevent place to post the question. It's the same like putting a door handle in the wrong side with warning signs attached. (see "The Design of Everyday Things"). A succesful design is declared by users, not the designer. I look at the central forum page and I see all sorts of inconsistencies. We have 5 subcategories with only 1 included category. Does that warrant those subcategories? There are categories with less than 10 posts. There are nukes and portal forums, should those be just merged? Javassist (and nukes) has its user and dev forum under the same category (which looks pretty clear BTW) while every other forums have the user/dev forums separated. If forum clutter is really an issue, and based on the traffic, it would make far more sense to have a users/iiop forum, rather than a iiop-dev forum. As a former jboss user myself, I know first hand how difficult it was to find anything corba/iiop related for jboss. Again, my view.
