No, nabble never was meant as a forum, just as interface for the mailinglists. >> If this is the case, should we be looking instead at a forums (which we >> have already done and chosen two forums to pick from -- phpBB or >> jforum).

IMHO, several forums had been tested, and we ended up with, IIRC, > jBulletin, or somesuch. It was jforum. But feedback was so sparse during the testing, and askbot was deployed at the same time, so I did want to give ask.libreoffice.org a good headstart and not spread stuff too much. As only a handful people provided feedback, and even less actually bothered to use the test-installations that were setup, and given that I personally really like askbot, it dropped in my prioritylist.. To me the question is back down to: Do we have enough volunteers to manage/run the forum? A forum requires significantly more maintenance (janitorial stuff, moving threads, dealing with spam, answering posts,...) than askbot. ciao Christian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
