Hey, My biggest issue with the Ubuntu forums overall is this:
"vBulletin Version 3.6.2. ©2000 - 2006, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd. " vBulletin is a proprietary project and as such I tend to avoided the use of the Ubuntu forums on the basis that its not good advertising for the ideals behind Ubuntu if it uses proprietary software. I understand the forums are not 'official', but Ubuntu's official site does link to them and it does use the Ubuntu brand. I just think it's a bad image to have. I do however personally prefer using forums over mailing lists and would welcome a forum that was linked into the mailing list (so both would exist in harmony). However it's not an idea I would support/use if proprietary software was used. I Just find it difficult to rant and rave about how good FLOSS is whilst there's a proprietary piece of software in plain view, especially since forums are generally higher trafficked than mailing lists (by mere mortals at least). In terms of volunteering, I have a bit of experience in the moderation field and time permitting I should be able to help out if needs be. IMO. - Daniel Joseph Price wrote: > Hey there... i'm PriceChild, a moderator from ubuntuforums.org if you > know of me... > > I've just seen this annoucement: > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=290685 > > I remember lots of discussion which just petered out about whether its a > good idea. > > This could be a very quick and easy way for us to get a forums going and > see how it goes... > > I'd be very happy to volounteer running them if people think its a good > idea and there's no-one better... > > Pricey > -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
