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?

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

all sites (wiki, main site and forums) should use the same navigation on the left and the same colors
administration of all sites must be made by CORE developers, in a manner so no one can take his toys and leave.

We would not like to lose the wiki for example.

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.
The purpose of the community is to offer a place for the users to share snippets and other stuff that can be easily added/imported, without the need for a developer to put to svn or to the main site. Let's say unofficial addons.

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.
also if a bigger CMS is to be used, we can use Drupal.
Smaller cms, with a lot of addons, and that can be designed light and nice - textpattern. http://www.textpattern.com/
a forum could be nice but for us probably lists are faster and nicer.
