Hi

I'd love to see this group of people on a different forum platform and I
sincerely agree that is is almost impossible to find relevant information in
the history, hell I even have trouble finding stuff I know I wrote!

We could migrate to a Google Group, e.g. SimpleMachines

http://groups.google.com/group/sim1

 

I agree that mailing lists are good for people who wants everything at the
same place. But here's some things I think are problematic:

Sticky stuff, stuff that everyone misses and asks about. A howto-collection for
example is a good way of documenting progress that peolple has made. I have no
idea how many times people have asked how to boot off USB stick from a TS7250.
(In at least half the threads the answer is that it's impossible which it's
not but that's another story.)

Threads that separates stuff, e.g.  newbee-questions from kernel hacking
questions.

I also find that the file storage place is a little under-used. There seems to
be a lot of references to patches, drivers etc. that are stored elsewhere,
preferable on peoples own blogs or servers with volatile addresses. I guess
the reason is that the Yahoo-forum is not easy enough so that people really
make use of the feature.

I'm just dreaming on here but I guess that what I'm voting for is a Wiki to
complement the forum with. It would be great with a tightly knit wiki-and-
forum so that everything is collected at the same place and that the natural
choise for someone using the forum would be to put an article on the wiki and
vice versa.

Just my personal opinion, feel free to disagree...

Per Öberg
