Re: Starting the community (Ghoust)

Hi Nebula-Fans!

I'd very much support the idea of setting up a nebula-device forum!!

I know we once did that and it didn't run very well what is partly my very
own guiltiness: I was asked to make a nebula skinning for the SMF and as I
always am, I couldn't say no. But I just didn't find the time besides
working at RadonLabs.
When I finally made the first tests the forum wasn't working good anymore.
Database and drawing errors... So I finally lost courage on it. I'm very
sorry about that. Please pardon me.

BUT! : I see very much projects do very very well with a forum!
The possibilities compared to that mailinglist are enormous!!
Multiple topics, getting mails to only specific topics, answermails, links,
images, polls... And most important IMHO: the stuff gets saved for the
future. So you don't have to answer stuff again and again to newbies that
are afraid of mailinglists anyhow. (I know nabble does that too with the
mailinglist. But nabble just looks messy. It perfectly fits to almost all
points Tom said.)

So what do you say?
Set it up once again?
There are dozens of cool feature-packed but slim and fast forum-packages out
there.
Its not about the skin! That may change. But I'd team up with someone else
to skin it again. Alone I cannot kick my ass myself enough. ;]

For Toms post: I know moderating can be very demanding! Whould I do that in
my free time? Yes but also not alone! Nebula is a big project. I'm no
programmer. We need some peeps that do that job! If we'd have it look and
feel like nebuladevice.org I bet it whould be worth and be encouraging
enough!

there is a buildsys for linux makefiles. what you would need is someone
writing a generator for mac. have a look at buildsys3/generators

should be but why should someone do this if there is an existing build
system? I mean I would like to see feature X in nebula would bring
interest me more than have buildsystem Y
