Re: [libreoffice-website] No we need separate forum-installations for NL-Groups?

Hi Jonathan,

please, please please adapt your quoting style.

I take the liberty to move your text around to match the context.

Unless there also is a way to have a working "show recent posts", I
wouldn't like it.

So far, I'm in favor of having separate forums, maybe with a single
login across all the forums. (that having the benefit of being able to
use dedicated lucene tokenizers/analyzers where available).

The "langauge as subcategory of Writer, Calc,..." has the additional
problem of searching across those submodules requires selecting them
individually from a long list.

Using languages as subcategories means you will have a long overview
page that for those languages that are at the bottom is more or less
useless, so your jump-in-page will be the corresponding language
category anyway, and then there's no real difference compared to a
separate forum. (apart from search across all languages is possible -
but how useful is that in a forum?). Ans the "show recent posts" is
useless, unless you modify phpBB to show them by category (that is
probably doable with not too much effort).

ciao
Christian
