This forum is a mess

[scoobie]

Can we please move over to a proper forum with folders and some sort
of structure?
There are so many duplicate topics in here now it must be wasting
everyone's time including that of the app authors to keep track (if
they can) of it all.

[Josh P.]

Yay! +1 for that. A real bulletin board system with notifications
would be a lot better.

Absolutelly, +1

Personally I prefer mailing lists.  I'm much more likely to contribute via email than by having to go to a website.    Moving to a forum would be disconnected from all past posts also.

Perhaps what would help is to give the PPC folks a separate list like the Android list.  That would simplify a lot.

Also I think every forum or email list goes through ebbs and flows...it's got a lot of traffic now, but it usually calms down pretty quickly.

Yup. Email comes to me. I read it.

Web based forums I have to go to. There are loads. I don't have time to go there.

Make that +1+1

This comes up every year so. For me the math is simple, I participate
in over 20 mailing lists and 0 forums. Start a forum, I'll continue to
use the mailing list.

Cheers

Most forums have an option for getting emails sent to you and some
even allow replies via email. I would certainly favour something that
had a better structure than this group.

Its still a forum, my participation here is limited with the emails it would be non-existent in a forum

I would certainly favour something that

had a better structure than this group.

With forums, unless aggressively moderated, everything ends up in one place (or the wrong place) - mind you as I use google mail to read the list messages I get nice threading most of the time and so my view of the mailing list may not reflect everyone's experience.

The issue I have with mailing lists is most of what is discussed here
is not that important to me. Sorry, it's just that way for me. With a
group I can pick and choose what to read when I want to read it
instead of it being yet another email that I have to deal with. I
vastly prefer topics and threads that I can choose from vs. being
blasted with everything everyone says.

My 2 cents

Big +1 for decently organized forums!

Like this one: http://www.mylifeorganized.net/forum-ru/ ;)

[scoobie]

Amazing. So there's a Russian forum but not an English one!

[Josh P.]

Wow, there is a real forum! That's exactly what we should have in
English too! Google translate does an OK job but I can't write in
Russian. :(

Well, where is development taking place? Doh!

So do what I do and use a google mail account for lists (and only for lists) - the threading for this list works a tread - I see subject headings and can read or ignore at will. Forums are no less broken than email

It shouldnt be problem to simply add a subforum for international
customers in this forum.

[Adrian Cobley]

I'd agree with that!

Well my contention is that nothing is broken. I find using Google
Groups works just fine for me. I can follow threads, see new messages
since I last visted, etc...

[James Murphy]

David, excellent point - I think many people may be unaware that this is actually a google groups list rather than just a plain mailing list or of the capabilities therein
