As you suggests, the bugzilla and svn repossitory are of course going to remain, but they could be closed for community access. Chris has already earlier mentioned that the idea of closing bugzilla has been discussed within Logitech.
I'm mostly worried about the forum and wiki, especially if something happens with the servers unintentionally and someone decides that it's not cost effective to fix the problem. The fact that there doesn't seem to be any link to them from the official Logitech pages indicates to me that the commitment to keep these pages available in the future isn't too high. It kind of seems like Logitech might want to direct new users to http://forums.logitech.com instead. It could of course also just be that all the links haven't been added yet. I understand that you and the other developers will try to do everything you can to avoid that anything happens with these sites, I'm just worried that no one from Logitech management seems to care, at least they don't show that they care in the public. Yes, I understand that Logitech is a big corporation and it might be unreasonable that the management spend time announcing their strategy regarding the community, but it still worries me a bit. If your management would be a little visible on these forums, all these worries and rumors could be easily avoided. I think neither me or Peter is about to panic yet, so far we are just thinking about what options we have to make 100% sure that the valuable information on the forums and wiki will be available in the future even if Logitech decides to decrease their involvement in the community. It should be said, that I've no indication that Logitech is about to decrease their involvement in the community besides the fact that there are less Logitech resources posting in the forum today than a year ago. I understand that the reason for this is mainly(only?) caused by the fact that their are less Logitech employees working with Squeezebox today than a year ago. My hope is that all our worries are completely unnecessary. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79234 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
