Forum - Yes.
Hi,
We're currently using mailing lists and IRC (and
person2person chats) for answering user questions. But:
- IRC has no history
(yet; when's that bot coming online?)
- mailing lists are not that easy to
browse and search.
Should we make a forum for users?
Pro
- One
place where users can find information, organized by topics
- Users are used
to posting on forums, and we might get a larger community
Con
- Soon it
will get too crowded, and (some) developers won't have the time to answer all
the emails; we need a strong community, and advanced users knowing the code, and
for this we need documentation
As a developer, I'd stick to
mailing lists.
As a user, I'd say forum.
What's your
opinion?
