It won't be a witango site. It would be a small community of
developers. Witango, or whatever. Ben has volunteered to moderate, I
would help, and I am sure there will be other volunteers. I am also
going to put code in a subversion repository. For instance, I just
wrote some very cool code, class based for dynamic content caching in
witango. We still have one very big client where php is not scheduled
until around the summer.

Hello Robert,
I can remember actually doing this idea about 7 years ago. I had a
complete
WiTango site with a message board and a component zone. The idea was
great
in the beginning, then it fizzled away.
You'd also have to get authorization from With Enterprises to do a
site like
this using the WiTango name. Otherwise it'll be an unauthorized
WiTango site
and discredited by With. Daniel Richardy in Germany had a similar
setup, but
all that went by the wayside when With canned the distributors.
I feel that a message board should have been one of the first things
that
With did when they took over the product. Put it on a different
domain, and
it would also boost search engine ranking.
The other problem is moderation. With would want to moderate your
board, or
someone approved by them would moderate it. Believe it or not, there
would
be certain things that you couldn't say about the product without
With's
consent.
Personally, I don't think they had the resources available to
moderate such
a board, and the WiTango talk list is much easier to control, and
there's no
risk of bots and hacks. The board would have to be monitored
constantly, and
this alone would be a full time job.
In all honesty, I think it's a little late to be putting up a board.
Rick

Subject: Witango-Talk: Suggestion
I think this has been bought up before, but I will bring up again.
Looking at Bill's request, made me want to suggest. Technically
feature requests are supposed to go to the witango site, but I think
we all feel like nothing happens to them, this isn't a b*tch session,
so we will leave it at that. So we post here, and everyone reads them,
and we hope by more responses witango may see and make more of a
priority, but the nature of the list, they also end up in oblivion.
There there was the other night, ben and I were building a cache
system, and were looking at serverstatus memory values, and they don't
seem right. We both remembered this being discussed on the list
sometime ago, but who knows when, and the witango list search works
most of the time, but not all, and cumbersome.
This list has become a great and manageable (not to big) community of
developers that help each other out, and I enjoy it, as you all
probably do too.
There has been talk of building a more bulletin board like community,
but who is going to write it, and is it going to be as good as
something like VBulletin?
I would be willing to donate a vbulletin license, and put it on my
server farm. We could have sections, and stickys for important stuff.
You can subscribe to a thread you want, ignore others, attache sample
files, click "NEW POSTS" and just see new posts since your last visit,
send private messages, the list is endless. VBulletin is my favorite,
from using it with other communities.
I would also like to have OFF TOPIC section, and sections for porting
code to and from other technologies, like .net, php, and coldfusion. I
don't have any problem NOT being the sole admin, and would be happy to
let others do that. More neutral people like Scott would be a good
choice.
Let me know what you think, this mail list thing is not the best
method. Just think, instant search, threads on important aspects of
witango, code porting help to and from, stickys of stuff that get
asked all the time.
Let me know what you think.
