I wasn't sure about questioning such a basic tool as malinig lists, so I asked Joel beforehand. I think he is right, in a open world, to whom it might interest, it's worth sharing... I see this mailing list as a somewhat ineffictient tool to organize discussion (and there are very valuable ones!). I think other issues have priority, so this might be a hook for the record... If You're interested on this opinion, read on...

Pro: Might help with the development of those official modules. Contra: - Might further disencourage interconnectivity with other projects. I already percieve odoo as a rather closed community because of many "we do it our way" decisions. This just reduces hooks and ease to join in. As a sidenote. - Regarding forum solutions, I think the odoo one is a specifically unsuitbale solution. I believe somewhat in the repartition of labor and expertise and would encurage the use of a benchmark tool. Like this official tools would benefit from "new" influences, and community could draw upon state-of-the-art in every aspect. Supporting References: - https://www.odoo.com/forum/Help-1/question/Does-this-useless-help-forum-actually-help-anyone---54613 - Its Q&A centric, not discussion centric... Alternative bold vision: Integrate community in a open collaborative enterprise portal, just without the "boss part". > > Hope this helps and give you the informations you wanted. > > Best regards, > > > Joël > > > On Mon, Jun 23, 2014 at 10:17 PM, David Arnold - El Alemán < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> *Hello Joel* >> >> I'm writing here, because this is quite a fundamental suggestion and I >> maybe ignore important facts and don't want to offend. >> >> I feel about the mailing list, that it is somehow diffcult to organize >> and track informaction for oneself.
