Hi Folks,
Say, Just chatting on IRC today, and ShadowHawk pointed out that a host of other sites (Franks corner, etc) have sprung up almost entirely because there are no user based forums on winehq.org.
This is, in part, due to the fact that the gateway between the newsgroup and wine-users is busted. And it is that way, because the gateway we were using is a dead project, and Jer hasn't been able to wrestle it back into working (and doesn't really want to).
Further, I think it may be time to recognize that cool looking forums are what users expect; that mailing lists and newsgroups are really becoming the 'old' way of doing things.
Further, there is a PHP based forum system that Jer would be happy to put up on winehq.org.
This would neatly side step the whole problem and perhaps provide a nice upgrade for winehq.org.
What do others think?
Cheers,
Jeremy
