The nhforge site is maintained mostly by NHibernate MVPs (mostly no committers). We have only to say: Thanks guys!!!
The issue tracker is where we can publish it for free. We have moved it various times. Google groups instead forums was a specific discussion in our dev-list. We can enable forums in nhforge site but we prefer google groups. About "I think you are going to turn off any new users with that crappy web site."... well, there is nothing we can do. I have to use a famous phrase: Don't ask yourself what the NH's team can do for you; ask yourself what you can do for the project is helping you in your professional/commercial life, for free. Then, only for your information, the penultimate release (2.1.2 binaries) have had more than 104K downloads in a year (for NHibernate is the record). For sure, we are doing something wrong but, apparently, many developers does not care (or perhaps they are more interested in what we are doing well). ;) On Sat, Jan 22, 2011 at 1:39 PM, Jon <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > Sorry if this is a rude email, but, for the love of god, please do > something about the web site and documentation for NHibernate.
