Will it be a +</I>><i> distribution for "developers" or for "end-users" (well i know developers are +</I>><i> also end-users). End-users, well just users may come from Windows (i hope we +</I>><i> will attract some to the good side of the force :D ) and they feels a forum +</I>><i> must easier than a ML. Just look at rules on the ML here, no html, no top +</I>><i> posting, just quote well are things that needs to use mail correctly. And just +</I>><i> use mail correctly is sometimes hard for just users. I do not work in +</I>><i> computing and i just see how computers are seen, how they are used and how +</I>><i> theses 3 rules would be hard to use. No HTML ? well i guess few users (outside +</I>><i> those working in computing) knows how to do it, no top posting ... ouch quite +</I>><i> impossible, quote well ... hum what do you calll quoting ? +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Let's face it, ML is a tool for developers not a tool for users. As a user i +</I>><i> do prefer forums, on one topic i can have the full discussion no need to +</I>><i> navigate between mails, there are colors, it is (or it give the feeling) more +</I>><i> attractive and newbies or users will prefer using forums. That's the same +</I>><i> thing between using GUI or CLI, i know CLI is powerful, faster, very efficient, +</I>><i> but for users GUI is better, they feel at ease when using their mouse to point +</I>><i> and click, validate. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> I have also praticed a lot web forum, and a very little usenet and it is also +</I>><i> two differents audience. Anyone here on alt.os.linux.mandriva (hum yes Marc +</I>><i> Paré is on) ? +</I>><i> +</I>><i> So, even if there is a good tool to have a bidirectional Gateway between ML +</I>><i> and web forum i don't think we will meet efficiency with it. The best way for me +</I>><i> is to have these different tools since they have different audiences, some of us +</I>><i> will be on both tools but most will use just one. +</I>><i> +</I> +You have actually enumerated the many reasons why this is such a great +setup. Regardless of anyone's preference of communication, we can all +talk to each other. It's as if there was a universal translator that +would enable everyone to speak in their native language but we could all +understand each other --- you know like on StarTrek Voyageur! + +Anyone can pick the way they want their voice to be heard and we can all +hear, whether you are a dev or user. I don't think that there will ever +be an efficient and unified communication tool, so if we can offer ML, +usenet and forums to everyone to pick from, then it is a big plus for +our distro. How wonderful is that? + +BTW ... I also manage an online magazine and receive messages from user +mailists ... approximately 20-30 of them. They are pretty active and +none of them are dev mailists. + +Eh! oui, je participe aussi à alt.os.linux.mandriva mais je ne suis pas +le seul du groupe usenet Mandriva qui est à l'écoute ici sur le Mageia +mailist. + +Marc + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="002084.html">[Mageia-discuss] IRC community channels - need a ruling from the board +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="002087.html">[Mageia-discuss] Wish List +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#2086">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#2086">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#2086">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#2086">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
