Re: [libreoffice-design] Re: Questions on UX/Design category on Discourse

2022-06-21 Thread Heiko Tietze

Not much feedback, so let's conclude:

* Please create one category on Discourse "Design/UX" without any subcategory.
* We keep the mailing list.
* ML users should not automatically registered.

All further configuration should be possible later and on the Discourse 
platform.

Thanks a lot,
Heiko

This is a question to everyone: I'm thinking of
* Design (UX/design tasks like mockups),
* Patches (simple easyhacks patches for example about terminology),
* Vision (rather far-fetched ideas)
* Presence (discussions about current topics)
* Meetings (what this ML is lately most about)

Given that we have not much discussion on the ML we could also start with just 
one pot.

Understand Categories as a subcategory of all LibreOffice Discourse topics. 
Having more hierarchy would be an overkill.

Would be nice if users could configure the kind of notification. It's something 
one can opt-in on the ML as well.

That means no more mailing list, only Discourse forum

topics. Having more hierarchy would be an overkill.


You will share the forum with NLPs and other projects. Imagine the FR 
project having also a Meeting subcategory, I don't think you want to 
share the content in French and English :) see how it's organized here:

anyway.


This is not possible as you can read it on the ticket. This is why you 
have to decide if the whole project migrate to Discourse or if you will 
use both mailing list and Discourse.

Users can configure their choices, but Guilhem can do some presets 
during the configuration of the category to help the migration.

2022-05-14 Thread Eyal Rozenberg

Ok, so, I have to take back what I said, because I conflated Discourse
with Discord (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zSXh4a_1eg shows you what
Discord is like)

I take it that the LO discourse would look like this:

https://ask.libreoffice.org/

but not for users to ask support questions?

And design will be a subforum in Discourse, with its associated feed of
updates and daily digest email of posts?


I'm not saying I'm accepting the opposite position than I had before,
just that I was arguing based on a completely false notion...

Maybe I block all shiny things but the UI looks quite plain to me.

Haven't seen myself.


Replacing the _list archives_? Surely, you jest. That's like saying a...

Not sure about listarchive but in the past we had Nabble to store and search 
messages sent to the ML. It has been retired and is replaced now by Discourse.

It is also used for https://ask.libreoffice.org/


How was that discussion open? I'm on 3 LO-related channels and nobody
informed any of them that such a discussion was taking place.

It has:

That's bells and whistles.

It has the additional benefit of being a
discussion forum, actually forums since we can have categories.


It's not a discussion forum. It's a hierarchy of chat channels. Not at
all the same thing.


There was an open discussion for month whether or not and how we should
introduce it. This cookie has been eaten.

From: Eyal Rozenberg 

I actually don't like Discourse. For live chat, meh, I guess it's ok,
but I'd rather have less distracting bells and whistles. I don't see how
it can be an alternative to mailing lists or discussion forums, at all;
I would avoid having a serious discussion there. What are we supposed to
be using discourse for, again?
