[SNIP] So, to make it short: Can you, the forum admins, please agree that
introducing
some subforums for specific topics makes it much easier to find "interesting"
posts for the "contributor" / "dev" so those would be more inclined to get
involved and can we please get some list together of "interesting" topics so
those get realized?

Point simply being adding some subforum doesn't cost a single $ but makes it
much easier to find - personally - "interesting" topics so one gets more
inclined to get involved.

From my personal POV I would be delighted to see:

1. a "security" one for stuff like apparmor, selinux, ssl with certificates,
general server hardening and so on
2. a "server" one for stuff like apache, php, samba, XEN, KVM, general
virtualization and so on.

a workaround until the fora can be shuffled to make it easy to find
personally interesting topics might be to try Google, it is a friend
and costs are lower than shuffling the forums..

anyway, and unfortunately, we cannot count on the Redmond Ship Jumpers
(RSJs) to know enough about what is going on to post into the correct
forum once reshuffled..

so, interested in security? pick and click/copy-paste what you are
personally interested in, general or specific:

NOTE: the above will return all finds, without limit by date...but any
can narrowed in time using "Advanced Search" to past 24 hours, day,
week, month, year.

NOTE 2: it is a fact that the RSJs are likely to spell (say)
"apparmor" in a dizzying number of variations which Google will NOT find.

NOTE 3: individuals here may elect to interact directly with Google to
form other, more suitable, search strings without my help...however,
if others here are waiting for an easy way to find what they are
interested in in the fora, just let your needs be known and i'll try
to help you also erase that "too hard to find" excuse.
