Hi all.
- Most of the people who attended the talk where people who dont
themselves either use the forums or know much about them and how they are used - so the idea came up to put together a set of questions, and then have the existing forum users and list users provide some feedback. Exactly what these questions need to be, is something that needs working on. A wiki page will get setup and we can all put in suggestions.
Not to over extend my welcome, but I'm still subscribed to the mailing lists from the last discussions on forums/site. Still active on the Simple Machines Team producing SMF, but I could probably help out with general forum "stuff" with whatever choice is taken. Can probably answer most questions on usage and trends.
I guess the question is not about which software should be used. There has been an evaluation process in the past:
http://wiki.centos.org/WebsiteVer2/forums
and migration scripts from new-bb to phpbb are already available and ready for testing:
Sorry, I saw this link in the past. My intended was just to cite a tool that solve by itself all the questions about internationalization.
The question is how a setup should look like, and imho something like:
forums.centos.org - holding the main english forums and forums.centos.org/$LANG for language specific forums
I personally like this kind of organization.
is a good solution and would match the actual wiki layout.
Besides that, I still think a section within the main forum (like French CentOS support) and a multilingual forum backend should fit in first place. If the demand is getting higher a real subforum in forum of forums.centos.org/$LANG could be created.
