Hi Robert,
This thread is more than a little worrisome for me. I'm one of the
newbies here (been here 5 or 6 months). I looked at OSG and a few other
scene graph packages (one of which is not open source). I settled on
OSG because the support I received here was by far the most helpful as
I started scaling the learning curve. Your voice is one of a handful
that have consistently been there answering my (often inane) questions.
I truly appreciate it.
Nobody has mentioned the big elephant over there, so I will. Why don't
you sever the link between the forum and the mailing list? I understand
that some people prefer the forum, but we all lose if forum noise kills
your enthusiasm for OSG support. The forum could continue independently
and if there are enough people who prefer that format, it will thrive.
As for the "old school" comment- I think that is probably how a lot of
people feel about mailing lists. I wouldn't consider it an insult
though. You could always threaten to move everything to an nntp server
:).

So you think using only one name (first or last name, whatever) is already enough for us? I just do want to have some concrete knowledge of what do you want to have. We need some rules, however, in order to implement filtering systems, I need concrete wishes.
Ideally you'd have both, the full name so you know which John or Jose
you are talking to, and the personal name used in 1 to 1 conversation.
Believe me or not, but this possibility is already there. There is some kind of template message appearing whenever you want to write a post through the forum. So users don't even need to type something extra, it is already there. The template looks like:
---
Hi,
...
Thank you!
---
Maybe you have seen the "..." in the posted messages in the last days ;)
So, what should I do more? If a user isn't able to even follow that template, what should we then do??? I have no answer for this.
The template is useful for sure and may well be a the route to making
things map better between forums and mailing list. J.P's suggest of
putting the posters name after the Thank you!/Cheers would be probably
be good. Forum users seeing something similar to what mailing list
users see would certainly be a good sanity check before posting.
I was wondering about the signature itself being customizable/tailored
to each user.
The fullname is already typically displayed as the From address.
Robert.
