yeah, google groups isn't my absolute favorite either, when it comes
to normal "talking..."
for discussions what have been updated in a file on github or about
general strategic discussions it's perfect...
(those are things most of the community members don't really need to
know...)

yeah exactly... and that don't seem to be the problem..
it's about the moderation, it's about the work they had for
maintaining the forum..
a work that prevented them from doing what they should do (working on
mootools...)

so they said someone else should do it -> and there we are:
use google group if you need support for questions that need "real"
core developer help.. this should be really quite hard questions.
for everything else - questions that the community can solve on their
own use mooforum.net
(that's how I do it... of course you don't need to do it that way...
that's just my personal way...)

Yeah so maybe you could gather all those information and write
something about it her or/and on mooforum.

do you really need lighthouse? if you have a mootools core bug you
maybe need it... (I mostly don't need it)
git - do you need the latest version? or the latest stable version? (I
use the latest stable version...)
personal homepages... hell yeah be happy that people who really know
how to use mootools - blog about their ideas/solutions

I believe that for the "common" mootools user it's important to know
how to use it...
so see examples, docs, google group, mooforum....

hmmm, same here but it doesn't help to just complain - do something
about it...
I tried something at http://demos.mooforum.net

In the end I just want to say... these are my personal thoughts... if
you don't like it so be it don't hate me for it...
