I think it's important to be where the people are, that is of course if you want to spread ownCloud to more people.
Regarding the Stackoverflow plattform it's built to solve problems whereas the forum has become a plattform for rants/trolls, misplaced bug reports and setup questions (just go through the posts and you'll see what I mean). Let's say we'd close the forum, rants and bug reports would not make it onto Stackoverflow (they'd be closed immediately) and setup questions could profit from the additional tags like apache/nginx I think its worth considering to close the forum/make it readonly and focus on IRC, the mailing list and Stackoverflow. just my thoughts On 07/22/2014 06:10 PM, Sudhir Khanger wrote: > On Tue, Jul 22, 2014 at 7:43 PM, Jos Poortvliet <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> On Monday 21 July 2014 19:02:55 Mark Ziegler wrote: >>> Am 21.07.14 10:17, schrieb Vincent Petry: >>>> This means that on every platform there should be at least one person >>>> who is willing to help people, and point people to the bug tracker when >>>> needed, whenever their problem is a bug and not a support/environment >>>> issue. >>> Hello Vincent, >>> >>> got your points as well. >>> >>> One person is not enough for the forum. >>> We reached an appr. posting rate of 60 postings a day and unfortunately >> our >>> "owncloud master" Rancor decided to take a break. >>> So everybody is welcome at the forum. >>> >>> Cheers, >>> Mark >> I have added 'answering questions at the forums' to our page about >> contributing to ownCloud: >> http://owncloud.org/contribute >> >> We'll just have to keep asking people in various places to help out... >> >> And you're doing that, Mark, thank you for that! >> >> /J >> >> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Devel mailing list >>> [email protected] >>> http://mailman.owncloud.org/mailman/listinfo/devel >> _______________________________________________ >> Devel mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://mailman.owncloud.org/mailman/listinfo/devel >> >> > There are numerous places to get help but they all seem to be > underrepresented and I am not complaining but maybe we are spreading it too > thin. > > > > _______________________________________________ > Devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://mailman.owncloud.org/mailman/listinfo/devel _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.owncloud.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
