Fine, I suggest two method we can follow

1- All reply for all.

2- All relpy in perivate and then the person who was asking the question,
gather the replys and forward them as an answer of that question (we will
only have one collected reply).
//may be use a tag in the subject of the reply mail as {ANSWER}.

Thanks in advance

Re: [ns] Why do we have this group?

2011-02-21 Thread Teerawat@UBC

Hi,

The problem with the latter one (i.e., when a questioner gets the answer, 
repost the answer back to the mailing list) is that the person who's got the 
answer may not forward the answer back to the mailing list. Even when you have 
the rule written say in FAQ, new persons who recently joined the mailing list 
might not know about the rule. Then, they would not forward the answer back to 
the mailing list.

In my opinion, reply all with a simple tag [ANS:NS] or something like this 
might work. People will know that this email message is an answer to a certain 
question. Those who do not care about the answer can immediately delete it. 
They may event get their mail client to delete mail whose subject contain 
[ANS:NS]. 

But we need to come up with an agreed-upon tag for answering the question. 

Note that one drawback of this approach is that there might be too many email 
about the reply, which might annoy our members.

Re: [ns] Why do we have this group?

2011-02-21 Thread El Hadi Cherkaoui

Hi all,

I agree with Teerawat, the replay to all with special tag is more 
efficient , However we can define special tag for different questions :

For example I have noted that most of the question is related to the 
problem of installation : ns2.29 on ubuntu , on fedora  , bad version of 
gcc..
I propose to add [ANS:Install:NS] for replay to problem of installation

[ANS:MAC:NS] for mac questions and so on ...

if I am not interested to reply or read to one category I will just have 
to delet them easily by creating folder.

Best,

Hadi

Re: [ns] Why do we have this group?

2011-02-21 Thread Teerawat@UBC

Hi Hadi,

Thanks for the support. I understand that you'd like to make tag more specific 
to fit the readers' need. However, there is a wide variety of question in this 
mailing list. For example,

- Installation basic NS2
- Installation of patch (which some people don't even know that they are 
patching their NS2. They think that they ran into weird problems.)
- Segmentation fault
- Including new protocols
- No-slot (classifier) errors
- OTcl and C++ linkage (e.g., evalf, resultf,...)
- Protocol specific questions (IEEE 802.11, Energy, routing, etc.)

These are just few examples I've seen over past year. If we assign a tag to 
each of the categories above, before long we're gonna have to maintain a long 
list of tags. 

Now the next problem is that the anwerers will have to remember the exact words 
of the tags to conform with the standard we are trying to set here. 

Another problem is that with more complicated tag, you cannot ask your mail 
client (e.g., mail rules in Apple mail) to automatically delete the mail which 
contains a certain tag (e.g., [NS-ANS]). 

Anyway, thank you for your thought. I hope we can help each other make this 
mailing list  a better place.

I agree, I think we should go with the first option otherwise I can tell you 
that it will be not likelky a person will sit down to collect all the answer 
and 
send it to the group.. lets face it, laziness plays a factor here. However when 
a person is answering the question, it is very simple just to use reply all 
rather than reply so we will definitly get more answers.

Making the tags more specific is definitly good idea but  I agree with 
Teerawat, 
it is not easy task. I like the idea of ANS in the tag it is simple, direct to 
the point and enable filteration. I gotta tell you, knowing the answer is much 
better than being flooded with questions with no answers.
My thoughts... Lets make it better. I can already see Erico replying all which 
is Awsome! Some questions were interesting to know the answer for.. this is 
just 
my personal experience.

Ahmad

Hi,
I am wondering what's the purpose of this newsgroup because all what I can see 
here is questions and questions but no answer to any (or maybe 10% of the 
questions). So is there something I am missing here or do you know of a place 
where people really answer each other?
Thanks

When I click to answer a msg, the email wrongly chooses the ones who wrote
that msg, instead of the group, because this happens to me also, people
answer directly to me instead the group.

Is it to complicated to make this mailing list a google group? I think they
work better..

Hi,

I answer to people in this group regularly (as much as I can). But usually, I 
just do it to avoid others who have to receive the answers which are relevant 
to their interest. 

There is no guideline on the use of this mailing list. If there is one and it 
says that most (if not all) answers should be replied to ALL, I'll be glad to 
do so.

What do you guys think?

Best Wishes

2011-02-20 Thread Ahmad

Hi Fellow NS2ers,
Personally I prefer to see answers for everything as it may be relevent at some 
point.
Anand, you can do what I (and may be many de here), have a special folder setup 
with every email with the Subject NS2 being forwarded to it so your general 
inbox does not get flooded with it. I am glad to know that there are people 
answer becuase I posted 2 questions  (figured the answer of the first one 
though) and didn't get answers and I saw just questions so I thought no one is 
answering here.
but yea I would personally like seeing all answers so everyone has reference 
incase they run into similar issues. I think I saw two more posts sharing the 
same likes.

After all, good luck everyone in your research!
Ahmad
