Re: debian forum

The people who help out will always be there. They help out, not becuase
the have to, but becuase they enjoy helping people. Anywayz not much i can
say in response to your message, as all your points are very valid.

I would like to see the forum work out as, the second palce to go if the
mailing list does not help. And the palce to go for in depth solutions to
problems and a place to through ideas around and talk "off topic".

Here is the address again:

is more in-depth problems and a way of people to find common issues,

been
addressesed. Is'nt it funny that, when the topic is first mentioned, not
many people have anything to say. But when someone does something,
everyone has their two cents to add in.

I am NOT trying to take over any of the other forums. Sorry if it seemed
that way. I wish to create a place for people to talk about more in
depth
problems, where the answers can be archived and retrived by all. Forums
will never beat mailling lists!

I am aware that there are other forums out there. I am just trying to
give
back to the Debian community, as I have been giving so much.

Please appreciate my efforts, and instead of trying to tell me it is
wrong, give useful suggestions.

A major difficulty with this suggestion is, IMHO, the question of
expert resources, that is to say the time of people whose answers to
questions are actually useful. These people seem not to be interested
in yet another forum/list/whatever that they feel obliged to
watch. (At least this is the impression I get from the responses that
I have seen to other, prior suggestions of this general sort.) I think
the 'good answer people' are a scarce resource that should be handled
carefully. Personnally, I fail to see how this proposal would use this
scarce resource more effectively, so I am fearful about giving it a
try. What happens if the 'good answer people' stop paying attention
and stop noticing to pleas for help? Not good.
