[xwiki-users] [ANN] IMPORTANT for users posting from Nabble

Dear Nabble users, We've just noticed a problem. If you've been posting through the Nabble UI (see http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Forum ) then it's possible you've posted neither to the "XWiki - User" sub forum nor to the "XWiki - Devs" sub forum which means that you've posted to the root forum and this root forum is not linked to any mailing list. This means that your messages have not reached the XWiki Users and Devs mailing lists and thus nobody has seen them. Which explains why you haven't received answer to your messages… We had put the following notice on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/MailingLists : " Note that using Nabble allows you to post to the forum without registering (the post will not be sent to the XWiki mailing list though and thus only users checking the forum will see your post). Even though we don't like users to do this (since users will not automatically receive answers to their questions for example and it doesn't create a relationship) it might come handy under some circumstances. " However seen the number of posts not sent to the list and which don't have any answer it's not working. Thus we've decided to not allow anymore posting to the root forum and from now on you'll need to post to the User or Dev forum which means you'll need to register on the xwiki lists too. When you create a messae Nabble guides you on how to do this. Thus if you've sent messages through Nabble but haven't received any answer please consider resending them. Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience -Vincent Massol on behalf of the XWiki community
