Okay, it seems this has drifted into adding a bunch of new
topics. Let's review the current scheme and see how we can
improve it:
- OpenACS forum: all OpenACS questions, some categorization
- OpenACS 4 Design forum: OpenACS 4 experienced developer
forum
- OpenACS 4 Testing: for testers
- OpenACS CMS: for CMS (not really all that used right now)
- dotLRN: for all dotLRN issues right now
I agree with Michael that we want cross-pollination. We can also
learn from the OpenACS CMS forum that a forum topic that is too
specific will not work.
Here are the needs we're trying to address:
- forum for newbies
- forum for graphic designers
- forum for OpenACS users/administrators (not programmers).
How can these be grouped? Can we use existing forums and
better categorization to make some of this work? Some initial
ideas on my end:
- a forum for beginners is a good idea to help people become
part of the community
- a forum for non-developer but techno-savvy folks is useful, too
(graphic designers, business analysts, etc...)
- a forum for advanced developers is important. It's probably time
to stop differentiating between 3.x and 4.x at the forum level...
