You're probably right on the reasons, but the thing is that it's a pain having to monitor multiple sources of user feedback - there's just never enought free time to do so.
And there's also a few big risks: 1) Making the community appear to be unresponsive 2) Frustrating users who never get their questions answered 3) Spreading the info to multiple places is hard to update and easy to get obsolete So, anyway, Tapestry has the mailing list, its website/documentation and there's always StackOverflow. Perhaps it makes sense to define a strategy on how to take advantage of that last one though On Thu, Nov 25, 2010 at 01:36, Paul Stanton <p...@mapshed.com.au> wrote: > it did. it's still there but doesn't have the community. > > the reason it dies was twofold: > > 1. it was very spam prone: the way it was set up did not do enough to > limit/kill spammers > 2. it did not get the tapestry community support - it was not even > acknowledged by the tapestry site > > that's not to say a forum wouldn't work if setup and supported by the core > tapestry community. > > p. > > On 25/11/2010 8:18 AM, Robert Zeigler wrote: >> >> Tapestry had a forum for awhile.
