Hi *,

as it was raised in the BOD call: Do we need separate forums for the
various NL-Projects like it was/is the case with OOo?

Each language has Writer, Calc, ..... forums, and a couple of general
ones. Around 10 to 15 forums per language.

This will make the Forum listing quite crowded - and it cannot be
avoided that some languages will appear at the bottom of the page,
while english appears on top...

And while I answered that dedicated categories would work just fine,
thinking about it I'm not so sure anymore. There are just too many
different forums....

What's your opinion/proposal for a solution?

Does phpBB support subcategories (JForum does not) - and would that be
a solution? I.e. having a list of languages as categories, and each
category having its own set of subcategories, or having a Writer,....
category, and the languages as subcategory.
Both just don't sound right, and the only benefit would be to only
have a single database...

But it would make the "show recent/active posts" useless for a
majority of the users, as German users don't care about that a new
article was posted in the English or French forums...

So better to create separate forums? Even have a mix of forum
software? Let NL-project foo use phpBB, and have NL-project bar use
JForum?

Argh - instead of answering questions, the call did bring a much bigger one ;-)

But at least askbot is settled :-)

Subcategories are possible. Sitting here I am thinking why not lets say in each section writer, etc we have a sub section for each language. Also how many main catagories are goign to be on the forum.

TDF, Writer, Calc, Impress, Base

What others are needed?

I would also like to see general categories where people can talk of LibreOffice in a specific and general way -- a LibreOffice Community Hub. We also need to do a better job at community building if we are serious about this. Maybe the hierarchy could look like this:

========
[LibreOffice Apps (Need Help? Ask Here!]

Writer
Calc
Impress
Draw
Math
Base
Accessibility
Extensions
Templates

========

[Package Support]

* Installation and Configuration (single or home network installation and configuration) * Medium/Large Scale Installations (installation; configuration; management) *
* Security and Performance
* General Questions (related to support only)
* Distribution Feedback and Suggestions (general feedback; platform; wishlist)

========

[Community Feedback]

* TDF News (news and foundation updates)
* LibreOffice Community News or LibreOffice Café (general updates on our community; event updates and news; what are other NL groups up to?) * LibreOffice in the News (what the world thinks of LibreOffice and our community) * LibreOffice in Business (case studies and showcases [NOT A SUPPORT AREA!]) * * LibreOffice in Education (case studies and showcases [NOT A SUPPORT AREA!]) *

========

I am not sure if we would need a dev section. I think the devs are comfortable with the lists and IRC. The coding concerns coming from users would find their way in the Apps section of the forums. Same thing for bug reports and bug results.

* We need to encourage talk of medium/large scale installations in business and education. This will also create buzz around LibreOffice and show that we also offer support and guidance for these installations.


Cheers,

Marc
