RE: [PEAR] English PEAR Forum

Do we have volunteers for forum-administration? I think we would need at least two imho for each language. We've already talked about that maybe a forum on the official PEAR-website with per-language-forums could function as a replacement for "branch-off"-projects like pear- forum.de. The users would imho greatly benefit. However, since there is already so much work on packages, docs etc. to do I wonder if it's worth to even dedicate people to "fulltime" forum-administration. And keep in mind: It won't make things easier if devs have to read in several mailinglists *and* a forum to keep track. So maybe a webinterface to the mailinglists would be a more complete solution? I know there are mailinglist-archives around. But it might be easier for new people to read the discussions when it's available on pear.php.net, in PEAR-layout etc. Stefan On 22 Apr 2004 at 14:11, Nunners wrote: > I think it's a great idea, for the very reasons you give.... > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Mike Carter [mailto:mikeatwork@ukonline.co.uk] > > Sent: 22 April 2004 14:09 > > To: pear-general@lists.php.net > > Subject: [PEAR] English PEAR Forum > > > > Just wondering how many people would be interested in a dedicated > > open-browsable (no need to register to read), PHP-PEAR forum for English > > speaking end-user developers?
