Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Consolidation of New Forums discussions

Okay, so when will categorization for forums be done and up on openacs.org?

It's now been 6 weeks since the new bug-tracker was released, and that still hasn't made it to openacs.org.

So instead of waiting for this or that new piece of software, I'd advocate that we follow Joel's suggestion above. Because this is something that we can do *today* that would improve our lives *now*.

I really agree with Joel that we need an "install problems" forum. That would improve the signal/noise ratio for everybody, whether installing or not installing.

And the current "OpenACS development" forum, as Joel also points out, isn't clear. We need one forum for developing OpenACS (core), and one for developing on top of OpenACS (core).

Finally, having a non-technical forum seems like a really good idea.

So come on, let's just add those forums today. Please?

If that's too many forums, let's get rid of the ones that aren't used:

- OpenACS CMS should just be rolled into the normal OpenACS development forum. No reason for a special forum for CMS.

- .LRN testing is so small low-volume that we should probably just roll it into either .LRN development or OpenACS testing.
