2. Will it take resources away from other SUSE tasks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I think it is now time to discuss what resources are required to achieve a forum.opensuse.org which is hosted by Novell.
What is the estimated work hours in setting this up, assuming that hardware is available?
Technical feedback can be gotten from SUSE Poland who have http://forum.suse.pl/
What current project would person building a forum server be taken from? Do we want it now? (Is anything within 6 months feasible? Especially as the openSUSE staff has a poor delivery track record for things outside the actual distribution - sorry but this is a current reality that will hopefully be soon broken)
We want it Yesterday. :-) It would be nice to have it with the launch of 10.1. Why not just start with one language and add others after a while when all is well and running?
It is agreed that active moderators will be community members. We need to establish a mechanism for selecting moderators. With clear processes about appointment, removal, responsibilities etc.
I would say that active moderators can be anybody. The way you word it you exclude Novell and SUSE people.
Do we need to form a web forum project team? With their own temporary mailing list to remove all this from the general list.
If it really is going to be tempraraly, then yes. The moment the forum goes life, it should be abandoned and deleted. houghi -- The man who said "A bird in the hand's worth two in the bush" has been putting his bird in the *WRONG* bushes.
