I know about the forum that you referred to. I was on it for about two years and I thought it was great, having people who were not Tails developers but with more knowledge and experience to answer questions posed by newbies.
I believe Tor's StackExchange works on similar lines. Tor developers do not need to be on StackExchange 24x7x365 to answer questions. People with more knowledge and experience can answer them, if they wish. In my opinion, Tor and Tails developers need only to moderate the forum(s) to ensure the answers provided are accurate. --- [email protected] wrote: From: [email protected] To: [email protected], User support for Tails <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Tails-support] Suggestion Date: Thu, 19 Dec 2013 15:06:31 +0000 Regina Vanderbilt: > Hi, > > I have a suggestion. > > I just found out that Tor has a Q&A site on tor.stackexchange.com > > As some of Tails' users' questions are basically about using Tor, it would be > good if Tails move its support to tor.stackexchange.com > > What do you guys think? Hi, About one year ago we closed down a forum we had on our website. Our plan was initially to move together with Tor to a new Q&A site. Tails put a lot of error into investigating which Q&A platform would be the best to suit our needs. And of course, no existing solution was perfect and we would have had to do a lot of work to bring any of them to our expectations. In the end, for various reasons all of this didn't happen; and Tor decided to go and create a Stackexchange instance on their own. For the time being, we don't have enough human-resources to follow-up on the extra work such a tool would imply for us. The Tor stackexchange is also quite new and we want to see how things evolve. Maybe some day Tails will have web-oriented support again. But for the time being we simply try to redirect the specific request to the right place: sending people with questions specific to Tor to them, and the other way around. _____________________________________________________________ Washington DC's Largest FREE Email service. ---> http://www.DCemail.com ---> A Washington Online Community Member ---> http://www.DCpages.com _______________________________________________ Tails-support mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-support
