Thank you for getting us again in this endless discussion loop... I never said to _ignore_ it. My point is just: let's first decide how we want the forums organized: - - elect existing ones (one per language) as official ones and merely add DNS aliases (e.g. de.forum.opensuse.org -> linuxclub.de) - - set up new web forums, hosted by Novell/SUSE (or maybe something in-between) What software to use (phpBB/vBulletin/... ...), whether we want an NNTP gateway or not, whether it's feasible, how, etc... will be discussed *later*. If we endlessly push every single aspect of that discussion in the current thread, we won't have any decision on anything. I'm just trying to move this discussion into something productive and finite. Of course, other topics will have to be discussed afterwards (one of them being an NNTP gateway), I never meant nor said to discard them. >> let's really try to get into some real actions or we'll be discussing >> this during 3 weeks and still get nowhere > > What kind of actions are you after?

(not necessarily of me > personally, but in general). No, not at all. Let's first clearly decide whether we want it and how (wrt. electing existing or creating new ones).

Wrong, the decision is up to Novell/SUSE _and us_, which is why it is being discussed here and now. >> 1.

Well, ok, that's your opinion. I, for myself, don't give a **** about it if it sticks us into an endless discussion. I really think that integration with the mailing-list and/or NNTP is a different topic we can still discuss later on, once we have decided about integration of existing or setting up new web forums. Obviously, that decision has an influence because if we just elect existing web forums, we don't have all that much influence on - - where/how it is hosted (*) - - quality of service (*) - - whether and how to integrate it with the other communication channels (mailing-list, NNTP) (*) unless the elected, existing forums are moved to Novell/SUSE for hosting Again, let's please take this discussion one step at a time or we're not going to go anywhere. > With respect to the existing webfora here and there - they are probably > all someones baby, so to ask people to give them up or migrate is going > to be difficult, so why not just let people vote with their feet? So, basically, you are in favor of setting up new web forums, hosted by Novell/SUSE ? cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _\_v FOSDEM 2006 -- 25+26 February 2006 in Brussels -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFD2e4Ar3NMWliFcXcRAtd3AJwM8TPweuj1LQaL3yRTh5jt3gmBIgCglOeb OZaqZSozwHtUWDzS4A3MWf8= =+ozk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
