Re: Witango-Talk: Suggestion
I don't see what the big deal is about moderating. My forum has 6 moderators and we seem to do just fine. And trust me, I think the likelyhood of an errant post from a bunch of beer-swilling fishermen is much more likely then from Witango developers. As for the search engine stuff, I have been into SEO and web marketing for many years, as some of you know, and if there is any help I can do from that end, I would be more then happy to put in my 2 cents. It would be nice to get Witango a fighting chance against some of the big boys. If any of you would like examples of SEO and some of my sites, please email me off the list and I will send them to you. I have always said the proof is in the pudding. I think there are some definite advantages to be had by placing the ball in our court instead of relying on a single entitiy to provide the push. A lot of people have complained in the past, my self included, on the marketing and worth of this product. Well folks, maybe it's about time we put together our collective heads and do something about it. What better group to do this then the devlopers who actually use and know the worth of the product? It is much easier to sell something that you believe in then to sell a widget you know nothing about. Some of the past users just oozed with enthusiasm over the product, and that enthusiasm was evident in there posts. We need to capture that enthusiasm and reflect it into, hopefully, a growing community of users. Wouldn't it be nice to get excited about something again?

Re: Witango-Talk: Suggestion
It won't be a witango site. It would be a small community of developers. Witango, or whatever. Ben has volunteered to moderate, I would help, and I am sure there will be other volunteers. I am also going to put code in a subversion repository. For instance, I just wrote some very cool code, class based for dynamic content caching in witango.

RE: Witango-Talk: Suggestion
Hello Robert, I can remember actually doing this idea about 7 years ago. I had a complete WiTango site with a message board and a component zone. The idea was great in the beginning, then it fizzled away. You'd also have to get authorization from With Enterprises to do a site like this using the WiTango name. Otherwise it'll be an unauthorized WiTango site and discredited by With. Daniel Richardy in Germany had a similar setup, but all that went by the wayside when With canned the distributors. I feel that a message board should have been one of the first things that With did when they took over the product. Put it on a different domain, and it would also boost search engine ranking.

Re: Witango-Talk: Suggestion
Hi Robert, As you said, I am posting feature requests here mostly to make sure they are visible to the community. I like the idea of a semi-structured repository for bug reports, feature requests, code samples, etc., and appreciate your offer to host something.

Technically feature requests are supposed to go to the witango site, but I think we all feel like nothing happens to them, this isn't a b*tch session, so we will leave it at that. So we post here, and everyone reads them, and we hope by more responses witango may see and make more of a priority, but the nature of the list, they also end up in oblivion. There there was the other night, ben and I were building a cache system, and were looking at serverstatus memory values, and they don't seem right. We both remembered this being discussed on the list sometime ago, but who knows when, and the witango list search works most of the time, but not all, and cumbersome. This list has become a great and manageable (not to big) community of developers that help each other out, and I enjoy it, as you all probably do too. There has been talk of building a more bulletin board like community, but who is going to write it, and is it going to be as good as something like VBulletin? I would be willing to donate a vbulletin license, and put it on my server farm. We could have sections, and stickys for important stuff.
