-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi,
There were several discussions before about the current mailing lists and/or a possible forum. I would not only just bring back this topic, but already created a PoC project: https://qubes-os.info The Qubes developers are already know about my project - still it is an UNOFFICIAL, Proof of Concept project. The goal is to see how it would work in practice. The forum engine (fudforum) has a unique feature: mailing list manager. This means: it is able to sync any mailing list with a forum. So every mail posted to any of the qubes mailing lists will be received by the forum engine, and convert it to a forum post. As the sync working both ways if a user post a new topic, or reply to an existing one using the forum interface, it will be sent out as a regular mail to the corresponding mailing list. This way - if it's really work in practice - You don't have to chose one solution, both the mailing list and the forum can work and live together. So if you prefer the forum interface - or just want to give it a try - you can login to the forum, and just start using it. :) Every kind of feedback are welcome. ;) The direct registration is disabled for a reason: If you post any mail to one of the mailing lists, the forum engine creates a user account automatically, using your email address and your name (if you using any alongside your mail address) Because of the two way sync, it is vital to match the forum users with the mail authors... and the key is your mail address. So if you already posted any mail after the forum started receiving mails (2018.10.23), you already have an account. You can access it using the password reset function of the forum. As the username is auto generated, check your username by reading any of your own mails on the forum interface. Later you can change it as you wish. As your "name" alongside with your email address is already a public information, the forum not ever needs any more personal info from you. However optionally, you can add more details to your account if you feel so. Some technical background: The domain name is registered by me for "personal use". But if the PoC will be successful, and/or the Qubes team ever would need it, I willing to cooperate. The whole solution is hosted on an external provider. So even if I try to make it reasonable safe, keep in mind that the hosting provider (1&1) owns it all. You should be aware that the forum engine is polling a mailbox, so it has a few minutes of delay. Help needed: Currently it's just a one man show :) The domain, and the hosting is paid for 12 months. The forum engine is configured, and "seems to be" working. However I would really need help to: - - test this solution, by using it :) - - forum administrators also welcome. - - some voluntary moderators would be nice also. - - create any better design :) - - creating a privacy policy, and such pages... - -- Zrubi -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEmAe1Y2qfQjTIsHwdVjGlenYHFQ0FAlvS96wACgkQVjGlenYH FQ1lcQ/+M9ObQg8Fg8EVeazVYZ8Gu23wQqsqRIGCTKud8dojOR7Aius/h2J3e2Yd Sj/1vv0dLhZ4aMPDnwKOtXsYYLkakBzKijrXuAoxnUDCDfqpUPUeuHR71ac2WuRU XkhadSly2FrKfs+xT4fb/H7ti4PBppxfMWStJyN08cGQMEtM0v/WVHFlb1VvaWOq 6DFPcClJBl4GT7pB1jSl2IQKe9rp2xzF4lDW4GJBmlKWwARRSDTRrWfGTsvcFgC+ BTW+m5lLmaKRggxLtbytYy33RhH46AQ6g/HQsRdf/0FX7ggQhRxZKxj7GhChQ9wB IpfPD9+aDAOIuNK7i73VOinuJr8/ZZ8v7znOj0/qsbRyxxF93zPLHgY00xlrnhUh whD5uutXYXudzkvoMAcIxf/whrJKZpJgu3M/8s54jwjLCyS+mMmy8eg+lG59LqLE mfrCb6vCSbt3ymje0txtzVqk3jKvtXRwtlXLtby/F7c4mHV5acevz30vcIY3sRD5 eStgbGqiplfZHHdPfXJ1uv+EvAUnvqVYZ1Rt7n8pLxPNVh3r8/V0lJBspp2yOH62 E/BkQ8hWCObLXyidP7FedHYSTVtL2V7sEUh3BFb5KRw8wIYT6ADWEvEK6igg6rwa gActjhoHFR4sYvOPc3QG0LR+q8zxLt6xwI8CWGYmKOduEnQq+f8= =GH0S -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
