OK, my 0,02€ :-) Where's the difference between "General Discussion" & "Lounge" (or whatever name will be chosen) - it is not clear to me. ####### I don't think there is a need for an installation & configuration category, let alone individual forums for each OS. Installation is best covered using "Tutorials"/The existing installation documentation. so I'd remove the Installation category & forums and instead cover it in Tutorials and in a catchall/general questions section in libreoffice apps category. After all installing is not black magic... ####### In LibreOffice Applications, I wouldn't split them out as much, but rather shrink them to: * Writer & Math * Calc * Impress & Draw * Base * Catch-all/General (also the place to ask installation/configuration problems if not covered by the tutorials) - might even consider to put Base into this forum as well. For installation related questions, people can be asked in a sticky to prefix their topics with [win] [lin] [mac] (, [sol], [and] [ios],...) ####### The SiteFeedback & Website contributor forums seem to overlap ####### And I assume that the Admin-Category will be hidden for Anonymous & regular Users, right? So I'd rather start with fewer forums, and if real-life usage proves me wrong, create the additional, specialized forums. But especially Math and Draw don't get so many questions that are specifc. Base might deserve its own section because the nature of the questions is redically different, and most of the time require database knowledge, but probably not from a volume perspective. Then again, I don't read/monitor the english user's list, so it might be different from e.g. the german project. So in short: * remove Installation Category (cover it in tutorial and app-questions) * combine Apps forums (and create a general forum for non-app specific question like for installation) * explain difference between "General Discussion" and "Lounge" * check overlap betwen "Site Feedback" and "Website" ciao Christian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
