Say, Just chatting on IRC today, and ShadowHawk pointed out
that a host of other sites (Franks corner, etc) have sprung up
almost entirely because there are no user based forums
on winehq.org.
This is, in part, due to the fact that the gateway between
the newsgroup and wine-users is busted. And it is that way,
because the gateway we were using is a dead project, and Jer
hasn't been able to wrestle it back into working
(and doesn't really want to).
Further, I think it may be time to recognize that cool looking
forums are what users expect; that mailing lists and newsgroups
are really becoming the 'old' way of doing things.
Nah. Forums blow donkey dong because they aren't easily
google-searchable. I think we can get what users want by
asking http://www.gmane.org/ to handle the gateway;
then users that want a web interface can trivially
use a gateway like http://groups.google.com.
And that'd be *even less* work for Jer than setting up
and maintaining Phorum.
