It would be nice to not have to go to two separate places (mailing lists and the new forums) to read what's going on. A section of the website team working on the goal of a more powerful website based on Drupal is working on this at the moment. Drupal has this functionality out of the box with a bit of configuration. It also allows messages across other communication media such as XMPP, SMS or social networks to be replied to, but we haven't got that far yet. :) If you wanted more information or have ideas about what functionality you would like to see please feel free to ask.

That was the plan, but the forum and/or mailing list experts were not sure how soon it would be feasible. And I'm not sure how a single mailing list like users would be able to handle postings to and from a subdivision like, say, the Calc section of the forum, let alone Joe Doe's thread in the Calc forum on how to format a date cell. However, the mailing list can, of course, thread messages, so it shouldn't be impossible. //James -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

Nabble provides such an interface - currently it is being looked how to incorporate it into the libreoffice.org website, until this is down, you can reach it via http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/ There you'll find the LO mailinglists. It would be nice to not have to go to two separate places (mailing lists and the new forums) to read what's going on. See above, the forums are not meant to be used (that's why there are no acutal forums, and the page is not linked. ciao Christian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
Re: [tdf-discuss] Forums bi-directionally cooperating with extant mailing lists?
Hi, :-) The idea I have presented to Christian is this: The project has decided not to use forums as such for the English NL main site on libreoffice.org Instead, we have a Nabble interface to the mailing lists: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org Nabble provides quite similar functionality to forums, while actually being just a front end for the mailing lists. Therefore, Nabble is a solution that caters to both mailing list proponents and forum proponents. More importantly, it gives site visitors and inexperienced users a means of easily reading the mailing lists, with all the comfort and convenience of a forum. As part of the work being completed on the libreoffice.org site, Christian and I are trying to integrate the Nabble interface into the libreoffice.org site under the Get Help heading... with luck, you will see it by today or tomorrow.
