That would possibly be nice - I have no interest in Mac-specific content. However, how does a user know if something is Mac-specific? Is there enough Mac traffic to require its own list (forum)? I'd hate it if people posted things to a Mac-specific list if they weren't actually Mac specific problems. For that reason, I'm not sure it's all that wise to have a specific unix list. Perhaps it would be better to have a specific windows list, as that would be the biggest group of users. I tend to agree. Also, The Unix/Linux list should possibly include Mac. There are differences, of course, but most Mac problems have been Unixy in nature. Do we have to sign up separately to the email lists if we want them? Though, at the moment, I think that, while I was happy with one big email ist, if I have to subscribe to many, I may as well change to the forums. -- Daniel Cohen ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I find myself sticking to the discuss list to find out about if there are cool new features available for my Squeezebox (i.e., Rss Plugin, AlienBBC, etc), while I'm really not interested in the majority of posts (with the audiophile back and forth being my least favorite -- any email containing the string 'jitter' is drawn and quartered, flogged, then automatically shot back at the sender in a burst of flesh-colored confetti). I'm probably missing this somewhere, but is there a moderated / low-traffic (pick one or both ;) list that will announce new and updated plugins, new slimserver releases, press releases (ie new product), and the like? I do see the 3rd Party Plugins list/forum, however, I am fairly sure that will mainly consist of support queries, and would not contain any info on new slimserver or product releases, etc. Could this perhaps be integrated into the Slimserver product -- "Update plugin -> Check for new plugins, Slimserver updates, etc."?

>We'll be tweaking the forums as needed. Please let us know if you have any >questions. What happened to the other forum site that was being developed? At least that had some resemblence of a threaded approach. It looks like some attempt has been made to split old mailing list messages into message topics in the forum. I can see lots of root messages that have the same title, but aren't grouped. And messages that are in the same grouping aren't displayed threaded. Will this improve as new messages are posted - ie. is just an artifact of the transit period? I'd hate it if email messages aren't threaded properly because people post new messages in the forum, rather than replies to specific posts. All in all, most people should be satisfied though. Gee, what a day. First I hear that EZTree was closed, then Slim Devices had moved to forums, then find that EZTree has appeared to re-open as DIME. My day seems to be recovering ;) Phil ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
