Hi all,
Given my diminishing work on FVWM, I need to think about handing
over the FVWM Forums [1] and the FVWM Wiki [2]. I cannot devote
the time needed for their maintenance, nor do I want to act as a
point of contact for them anymore.
From my point of view, I'd have no problem with closing them down.
If you could direct users to the mailing lists, that would be a good
thing.
That'd be the simplest solution, yes. But I'm unclear how many users
of FVWM and the forums would welcome that. I was always in favour of
closing it down, but it exists _because_ it's what people wanetd, and
still do, from what I can tell. They're certainly a lot busier than
fvwm@ in terms of questions.
It is not a good idea to close the forum because it is a very good place
to get help and information. And from my point of view it signals that
Fvwm is on the way to it's end ...
I would take a moderators part if this is ok. Perhaps Bert aka
theBlackDragon would help, too ...
About the PhpBB3 maintenance I cannot help with it because I haven't any
experience with that.
The wiki is less important, but there's a lot of documentation which
I feel should make it in to the man pages somewhere if someone is
wanting to do that.
The content could be moved into the documentation site of Fvwm. There're
many parts which are very important about how Fvwm works, e.g. the start
up. The only thing is that the wiki is very confusing and find things
not that easy.
Best,
Thomas
So I can close them all down and keep the data kicking around, yes.
But I am not happy pissing users off in the process, hence the request
for a takeover.
