The forum activity drying up is a reflection of the reduction in +the number of new users. + +The news around the fork is bound to generate a new round of enthusiasm +and new users should be encouraged. New users of course like web +forums, since it doesn't require any setup and a user with a problem +sorely needs an easy to use web forum. + +So, all new users coming here to figure out what the fork noise is all +about, should be steered to the regular Mandriva downloads and +mandrivausers.org. They should not be discouraged from using Mandriva. + +H. + +On Sat, 2010-09-18 at 22:24 -0700, Paul Willard wrote: +><i> I do not represent Mageia in anyway. :) +</I>><i> I completely, and unequivocally represent mandrivausers.org board (MUB) +</I>><i> (I'm the owner, administrator, founder, etc) +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Agreed, whether a community forum is required or not should be discussed +</I>><i> here (the mailing list) and decided here, by either a) those who do +</I>><i> represent Mageia, or b) the entire community. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Having said that, I'm happy people like Herman are evangelists of +</I>><i> mandrivausers :) +</I>><i> +</I>><i> The community forum discussion thus far is this: +</I>><i> I was given direction by a user (tux99) that I should register the name +</I>><i> mageiausers.org (which I have) +</I>><i> I then spent a few hours in the IRC channel, and openly offered my support +</I>><i> of the project. +</I>><i> The people I spoke to in the channel were overwhelmed with work (surprise +</I>><i> surprise :) ) so thanked me for my offer, and suggested we could talk more +</I>><i> in a day or two. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> I (as I'm an action based person) have since started discussions on +</I>><i> mandrivausers about what this means to our community, with all the response +</I>><i> thus far being positive; all users suggest offering our unfettered support +</I>><i> is good for both the MUB community, and the developing Mageia Users +</I>><i> community (MUC ?? :) ) +</I>><i> +</I>><i> I'd be over the moon if I could help, as would all the MUB people. +</I>><i> I've got stacks and stacks of infrastructure thanks to osuosl.org (Oregon +</I>><i> State), which has diminished into nothingness over the last 2 years as +</I>><i> Mandriva Support has died out. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Thanks Herman, I'll buy you a beer for your enthusiasm if we ever meet :) +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Paul Willard. +</I>><i> A.K.A.
