 |
|
Here's another question.
Is it possible for us to unite phpBBs through topics. Our Gentoo forum does a LOT of work for all sorts of projects. This would be helpful to those projects, if we could unite our posts. Likewise, those other project forums would help us.
What do you thing of having a meta-forum, much as we have a meta-distribution of GNU/Linux in Gentoo? |

Yes. Apparently there are four levels of information in the phpBB scheme of things: Site, forum catagory, catagory topic, and post content. If we could organize, or encourage and participate in organizing amoung the phpBB communities, a sharing of queries and replies at the forum catagory or topic level, then we could jack the bejezziees out of forum's effectiveness and participation. Ahead of this, I'm concerned about hardening the persistance and accesability of good posts. So many things are merely a matter of discovery and summation. The faster that happens, the better, and we move onto other un-discovered and un-resolved questions.
This adds some "head up" planing on the part of a BB's administration; adds LOTS of competence and communication requirements among phpBB cross-community paticipants; and again, needs a hardend method of treating good posts. Just the same, this could be a reasonable hack? In time becoming an advancement in the community?
So long as our posters are qualified, perhaps with an advance level of cross-post qualfication(?), and the forum-catagory and/or topics are consistant, then communicating these posts is straight forward. What has to be treated beyond posting is moderation, and identification. I suggest that cross-posts include phpBB/community origination, for all the benefits and controls of "receiving credit." As for moderation, we could retain absolute local moderation of our forum, and produce of method of moderation between the "confederated powers" of participating phpBBs. Regarding larger issues.
If we'd tie up with some key technologies, like GNU/FSF (who I don't think runs a phpBB), apache, gimp, blender, Open Office, cups, kernel.org, mplayer, or whom ever, it would be quite a breakthrough. It's going to happen anyway. Why not now, why not us? |

That wasn't funny at all.

I got lost in here. Are you proposing something like merging different forums? If that's the case, the answer is no.

What is YOUR interest so far? I only see more loads of work. Please, keep in mind that these are the Gentoo forums.

Pretty simple answer. Not interested. |

Sorry, but I just don´t understand what you want.
