CommunityTools

This is a page where we can discuss the tools that we have and that we need.

Communication

• a forum that is linked to the mailinglist (every posting on the list is posted to the forum, and every post on the forum to the list)
  • This FudForum Mailing List Manager looks interesting: http://cvs.prohost.org/index.php/Mailing_List_Manager
  • where forum-users can subscribe to certain topics to get an email when answers have been posted
• a poll on the website so we can ask users what they want
• RSS feed with the news
• integration with gnome bugzilla for feature requests? how can we do that?

File upload/download

• a place to collect files such as 'made with' icons, language files, snippets files

Style & navigation

• all sites (wiki, main site and forums) should use the same navigation on the left and the same colors

Community Goals and Objectives

• The purpose of the user community is not to give more work for developers. They already have enough to occupy them.
• The purpose of the community is to enable users to help each other ... And help as much as possible the Bluefish's development team.

Notes and comments

• joomla is not a free tool.
• it is possible to embed a free forum in mediawiki.
  • FudForum, reported by Anita, can be used with Mediawiki.
