Finding something to replace Jive Forums is on the list - it is EOL
now anyway. Ideally we'd want something that allowed unified
management of both the forums and the mailing lists.
Is there a public TODO list? Historically, some of the evaluations have
resulted in decisions for OpenSolaris are imho not the best choice.
With this in mind I think it's critically important to be involved
before the hammer drops. (I understand more feedback from the peanut
gallery isn't always preferred, but I can back up my statement pretty well.)
I really see three obvious choices here..
1) Work with Jive Software.. In all honesty I don't know why the strong
opposition to this... Their newer versions solve a lot of the complaints
from the past.. (I know.. "we" use it..) Source is available, but yes
it's not under and OSI approved license..
2) Evaluate and hack up something to suit both the needs of Sun and the
community
3) Build it from scratch *cough*...
From my perspective taking into account everyones time TCO is probably
going to be go with Jive.. If Sun or others are willing to take the
more expensive open source route I'll help out where I can with this. I
have vested interest to ensure our communities have really great forums
and collaborative social media tools..
