It's been a while I haven't used Usenet but isn't it that Usenet as great gateways for both web and email integration? If you have a Google account you can use the interface via Google Groups (but really, we cannot require to have a Google account to be involved in MeeGo discussions). An idea to consider. But let me go down to things we can fix right now. I agree with Dawn that the Forum/Mail thing is not resolved and we need to have one channel useful for the core purpose it needs to accomplish. I have personally no problems with mailing lists or forum (I start to have problems about Mail/Forum discussions though) ;) Concrete proposal by-passing the concerns about "a forum is also important": - The maemo-community mailing list is the one and only channel for the Community Office coordination - http://wiki.meego.com/Community_Office coordination. Anything related to Community Office meetings and tasks is discussed and coordinated there. If you are responsible of a Community Office task you need to be there. If you want to push your agenda to the Community Office you have to do it there. - Every task committed chooses the best channel to get things done. The default is a report at http://bugs.meego.com, but meego-community, http://forum.meego.com or else can also be used when they make more sense. Up to the owner of the committed task. - Community Office decisions and meeting minutes are communicated to the rest of the project via meego.com blogs (details to be defined). - In addition to this, anybody can start any community related discussion in meego-community or forum.meego.com. For instance, someone not interested in the Community Office activity can stay in the forum and forget about the mailing list. Someone interested only in the Community Office activity can stay in the mailing list and forget about the forum. This guideline can be revised when we have a better technical setting, but they could be implemented right away with the current infrastructure. -- Quim Gil open source advocate MeeGo Devices @ Nokia _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
