RE: [technology-pmc] Tycho creation review requested
|
On a somewhat sideways note...
I have heard the "we don't like to use forums" comments from projects
before. This is partly an IT problem. There isn't really a technological
reason that forums and mailing lists should remain separate like they are
today. Forums are good for users who want infrequent access. Mailing lists
are easier for the dev team and frequent adopters. Would be great if the
eclipse.org infrastructure was capable of creating a single entity that
could be both a mailing list and a forum. That way projects could choose if
they want separate (user vs dev forum/list) or if one is enough. In either
case, they wouldn't pick the type of the medium, but rather its purposes.
Individuals would choose if they want to access these channels via mail, web
forum or rss. If I mostly read a channel, but reply infrequently, I would
pick RSS. If I post to a channel frequently, e-mail is far more convenient
to use.

Our process fell apart here, it seems. It may well be the case that we
just automatically created the forum without really even thinking much
about it or including Jason in the process. I'll review that. In the
meantime, we will make sure that all new project proposals are more
aware of the communication channel we decide upon.
FWIW, I give my +1 on the project creation as well.
