Thornton <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-marketing">Bradley at northtech.us</A>>: +><i> +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Well to finalize this consolodation we'll either need a commitment from +</I>><i> *tux99* to continue to provide forum services for our marcom lists or +</I>><i> we'll need to implement a new forum that is integrated w/the marcom +</I>><i> email lists. +</I> +If we will have such a gateway it will be for all mailing lists, not +just the marcom list. + +><i> Oh, so it's never been integrated w/a forum<==>list gateway? +</I>><i> That would expalain why I don't see any messages from the list :) +</I> +As you can see all other lists are up-to-date, only marketing and +artwork are not. I don't know why, I think you have to ask tux99. I +don't know his activities at the moment. + +><i> That's not what I was referring to. Most forum software, when you +</I>><i> implement an email list gateway, requires you to register in the forums +</I>><i> with the same email address (This FudForum implementation is no +</I>><i> different, as per the instructions there) that you are subscribed to the +</I>><i> email list(s) with. +</I> +This gateway we are talking about is not a Mageia activity, as I said. +The mailing list system is a Mageia activity. The relation between +them was made by tux99, not by Mageia sysadmin group. So I can't say +anything about that. + +>><i> As you can see all these lists are platforms of contributors. The +</I>>><i> forum will be mostly for userland but as we have seen at Mandriva we +</I>>><i> need a bridge between these entities. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> I'm not sure I understand what you mean by, "...these lists are +</I>><i> platforms of contributors." +</I>><i> +</I>><i> I don't see that. From what I see, there is only one Mailman Listserver, +</I>><i> located at <A HREF="http://mageia.org/mailman/listinfo,">http://mageia.org/mailman/listinfo,</A> and checking the RFC +</I>><i> headers from mails I'm receiving from various lists I'm subscribed to +</I>><i> there reveals (certainly appears) that it is a single instance of a +</I>><i> Mailman listerver installed. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> All the (various) list mailings I'm receiving are coming from the same +</I>><i> MX severs. +</I> +Yes, right. I don't understand how this is related with what I wrote. +I wanted to express that the maling lists are the communication +platforms of the contributors of Mageia, the sysadmin team, the +marketing and communication teams, the artwork team, etc. and the +general -discuss list for all. As it looks by now everybody is ok with +this setup. + +Forums will be implemented as well (on forums.mageia.org), it will +possibly turn out that they will mostly be used by users of Mageia to +find support and get together. This is the usual way. So we will need +such a gateway to the mailing lists, so that forum users are able to +follow mailing list discussions and we will not have the same split +between the 2 worlds as at Mandriva. + +><i> wrt both PhpBB and FudForum, I've only had to apply a security patch +</I>><i> twice for FudForum, and more than 15 patches or upgrades to PhpBB  over +</I>><i> the span of the last decade or so. +</I> +This is a continuous discussion among all the related people: which is +a better system, one that finds many weak points and fixes them +immediately or one that finds few weak points and fixes them +occasionally :) + +><i> But, if the existing one's are going to be a pain to administer, or are +</I>><i> too hard for n00bs to find, then I would suggest we implement this with +</I>><i> our existing hosting solutions on the mageia.org domain. +</I> +How problematic a forum is to administer is the administrator's task +to find out. They will administer forums.mageia.org. +How easily people will find the forum is the webteam's task. It has to +be found with one click from the place where visitors of Mageia start +- the portal page of the Mageia website. Any place in the wiki would +be not a good idea. + +But I am not sure if we are talking about the same issues here. + +-- +wobo +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000072.html">[Mageia-marketing] Consolidation of email list and forum mediums +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000074.html">[Mageia-marketing] Consolidation of email list and forum mediums +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#73">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#73">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#73">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#73">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-marketing">More information about the Mageia-marketing +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
