Who is interested in
helping me create a community portal for the most awesome window manager? I've started a project http://awesomenia.org - I'd like to make it the number one community site for Awesome. The reason why I'm asking for help is that I'm still learning myself. Anyone interested? Yes? Good. Feel free to contact me at foss...@gmail.com (Mail/Google Talk) Bye!

Look. As I said I'm new to awsome. And this could be a way easier to understand for people interested in switching to awesome.. All I want is to build a plattform, which is open to anyone, no matter what knowleges they have. As long as they want to know more, awesomnia.org is here to help.

I rarely do, mostly with people I already know (from the debian community). More technical questions find their way to the mailing list. If awesome.naquadah.org had a forum with the core devs as active members, I would probably have a look from time to time. But I surely wouldn't follow a blog driven by people who can't even help themselves in rather easy questions ;) Sorry, Christopher.

Christopher the fact is nobody says not to do it, it could be usefull, but don't think of it like anithing official a blog is not a community is onesided comunication with some comments. it could be usefull if you publish your works with on your blog, but it will be even more usefull if you put these things on the wiki -- Francesco Berni - kurojishi Registered Linux User #512920 GPG: A1FB5252 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: Who is interested in
No offense, but this kind of thing happens in every community once in a while. A (new) guy wants to create his own site, get everyone on it, and then claim it's the ultimate community thing. Such things are only good for your ego (if you were even able to achieve it, which you're not), and is usually not actually helpful at all, as it only increases scattering of information, and is often not what we needed in the first place.

[...] I think a wiki is a really straightforward way for people to get info and contribute. And the wiki is already mutli-lingual (at least some pages), so it'd be more awesome (pun intended) if you put the time and effort you spend in creating a different community than the wiki, the IRC channel and the mailing lists, into maybe translating some pages on the wiki, hang around in the IRC channel (oftc/#awesome) and follow/contribute to the mailing lists. Concentrated efforts in few places vs. splitting and duplicating bits of information is IMHO a good thing. [...] Maybe I'd also include a wiki... I'm not sure yet. [...] Kind of contradicting yourself here... The official wiki is not newbie friendly enough but yours will be? Then help with the official wiki, registration is free and you don't need to administer the backend and can focus on content. -- Gregor Best pgpSQfJ5p4EpA.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi! I've now set up Coordino on http://help.awesomenia.org- It is a community similar to StackOverflow. Next is to reinstall awesomenia.org using Dokuwiki.

RE: Who is interested in
Being on this mailing list, I see awesome ideas being discussed and awesome help going out from some truely awesome people, but as with any community, there are always those who disparage, berate, belittle, etc. IMHO the Awesome Window Manager [AwesomeWM ;-)] would be much more awesome if there was more documentation, it was more user friendly, it was easier to find, etc, etc. This is best achieved by growing the community, which is best done through positive interaction. As such, I'd like to encourage everyone to remember to see the positives in everthing and everyone and to offer positive suggestions and encouragement. As the saying goes - If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Kind regards Dave
