Re: [WiX-users] Forums

I guess that’s pretty much what I was looking for. Not a real need for
forums with such site I guess.

 

Thanks a lot for the link! (It should be posted on the main site and wiki…)

I use Nabble too, but only because Google finds it and SourceForge falls
over every time I try to do a search. This is the main issue I have with
WiX, where to find decent samples and check if a question has already been
asked.

2008-03-03 Thread Justin Rockwood 
I'm not sure what Christopher is intending with his tone here, but I don't seem 
to remember anybody being opposed to doing anything that the community wants to 
do. It's just all a matter of time and resources. If the community would like 
to have a forum, I don't think anybody is opposed to it. Somebody just needs to 
set it up and pick a place for it to live. That somebody would probably have to 
be on the core team, just because that person would also have to be the 
administrator. That means that doing forum administration would also take time 
away from writing code, testing, or debugging the toolset. I think we're always 
open to suggestions. Just because we don't sometimes use a suggestion or choose 
to go a different way doesn't mean that we don't play well with others.

Also, aren't there other "forum-like" venues already out there for WiX? I know 
there are a couple of Wiki sites and also sites that aggregate these emails.

If you'd prefer, the mailing list is mirrored in a newsgroup, which is how I 
use it.  Despite my 
gentle suggestions this fact has never made it onto the WiX site, and you 
basically had to be on the 
list at the time this functionality was added to know about it.

Server: news.gmane.org
Port: 119
Group: gmane.comp.windows.devel.wix.user

I believe there's also a secure version at snews.gmane.org but at some point it 
suffered connection 
problems (a long time ago) and I switched back to the normal version.  I can't 
remember if the port 
is different for the secured version.

Aurélien,

This question turns up from time to time. As far as I'm concerned, I stick to 
the mailing list. If a forum would be set up with an alternative mailing list 
interface to satisfy both worlds (which is, actually, not that complicated to 
do), I would have no objection, of course, but if wix-users would become 
web-only, I would stop following it and contributing to it at once. Logging in 
to numerous websites (I have quite a few lists to follow), navigating, looking 
for new posts, writing replies in web text entry fields take much more time 
than I can possibly afford and still do some work... :-)

Bye,

I think if there was, someone would have spoken up. I've not seen any.
Personally, I prefer the mailing list. Archives are there for the
searching on the web and I subscribe to mailing lists on Gmail, so I
never delete the old posts anyhow and the search is nice and fast.
Overall, I feel it's faster/better than my experiences on
Macrovision's InstallShield forums. But that's just me.
