I'm afraid that I don't think the manner of your request was appropriate: if your experience of a particular Ubuntu resource was not good, it's important to address it properly, rather than just take the attitude that it can't be improved and trying to make the resource less visible. That's not the Ubuntu way. > I'm not requesting the IRC channel change at > all. Just list the forum first on that webpage, then either the mailing > lists or irc channel.

Beginners are usually not familiar with any of those three things. I personally think the three types of resource are equally valuable, although possible mailing lists are more difficult for complete beginners. Probably complete beginners will not be familiar with web forums either, although they may have encountered instant messaging on sales websites (don't forget that irc is just instant messaging and the default client in Ubuntu is a friendly graphical one (pidgin). Anyhow, my point in the original response was that the order of resources in that web page does not set any priority, it allows users to choose whichever resource they feel more comfortable with. It's probably not that useful to debate the relative merits of each resource, they are all helpful. But if there is a problem with one of them, we should aim to fix it. -- Matthew East http://www.mdke.org gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF -- List the forums and mailing lists above the irc channel on the main support page https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139932 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
