-1 for any kind of forum. I would love some kind of stackexchange like “forum” (or whatever its called, QA) though, much better for upvoting answers etc, we could even piggyback on existing solutions instead of hosting our own.
Who knows, they might even let us add a DHIS2 section.

Hi Jason
I think there are different problems to address here.
That developer discussion doesn’t happen on the devs list is certainly a problem. It should. That is a question of transparency and process which we should improve on.
I don’t think we should encourage the use of the dev list for all manner of things, but rather encourage that it is used for what it was meant to be used for. Or drop it or rename it.
Anyway I was not trying to solve all our community building efforts related to lists with this mail. Just airing an idea that Steven raised, which I think might be quite useful. Whether it is list, forum, usenet group or googlegroup I don’t have too strong a preference.
Not much time right now anyway, but will keep listening to hear what people say.

Hi Bob,
I see the need, but am a bit concerned about establishing another mailing list. You can see from the dev list, that there are A LOT of non-dev topics already. Some of these are implementation issues, some end-user support, and a small smattering of Java jabberwocky. The dev list has sort of become the default mailing list for everything, and this is where people tend to go for support. The user list receives much less traffic, in spite of the fact that most of what is on the dev list is really not development related. While I think it is a good idea, there is inertia to overcome.
Another idea which we have been contemplating is the establishment of a forum. This came out of the meeting in Oslo a few weeks back. I have been working with Lars Helge on this, but there is some more work which needs to be done before it would even be ready for testing. However,maybe a forum would be a better media for such discussions?
Regards,
Jason

Hi all
Steven Uggowitzer recently raised the idea with me to create a system administrators list. Aimed at backend sort of things relating to the operating system, security, database tuning, dhis2-tools, virtual machine images etc.
Those geeky sort of things which are not about java development or about users as such, but all the stuff that needs to happen in between.
I said I’d run it by our extended community and try and gauge interest. Please reply in this thread if you think its a good idea (or not). If there is sufficient interest we can look at setting up.
Cheers
Bob
