Hi Nebula-Fans! I'd very much support the idea of setting up a nebula-device forum!! I know we once did that and it didn't run very well what is partly my = very own guiltiness: I was asked to make a nebula skinning for the SMF and as = I always am, I couldn't say no. But I just didn't find the time besides working at RadonLabs. When I finally made the first tests the forum wasn't working good = anymore. Database and drawing errors... So I finally lost courage on it. I'm very sorry about that. Please pardon me. BUT! : I see very much projects do very very well with a forum! The possibilities compared to that mailinglist are enormous!! Multiple topics, getting mails to only specific topics, answermails, = links, images, polls... And most important IMHO: the stuff gets saved for the future. So you don't have to answer stuff again and again to newbies = that are afraid of mailinglists anyhow. (I know nabble does that too with the mailinglist. But nabble just looks messy. It perfectly fits to almost = all points Tom said.) So what do you say? Set it up once again? There are dozens of cool feature-packed but slim and fast forum-packages = out there. Its not about the skin! That may change. But I'd team up with someone = else to skin it again. Alone I cannot kick my ass myself enough. ;] For Toms post: I know moderating can be very demanding! Whould I do that = in my free time? Yes but also not alone! Nebula is a big project. I'm no programmer. We need some peeps that do that job! If we'd have it look = and feel like nebuladevice.org I bet it whould be worth and be encouraging enough!

Great news! I never worked on setting up a forum, however if "skinning forum" means writing appropiate CSS, I can help on that.

Hi all IMO a forum would be a good thing, especially if it is running on the nebuladevice.org, that way there will be a natural activity on the site. = On the other hand, setting up a forum is not going to wake up the project = that will need some of the other things like tutorials, merged updates from Radonlabs and clear policies for making changes to the code. Oh and some dedicated active people with the time to do the work. The main thing for me is getting the updates to the engine from = Radonlabs. It is frustrating not knowing if there is a wealth of cool features that = I need already implemented.=20 How do we do this? Merging the changes and getting it to build is = probably not a big deal, but how do we go about validating the merge. What = platforms should it be tested on, and what tests to run? What about all the contributions how do we validate/update these to the new code? How do we decide if a particular contribution should even continue to exist? Brgs.

Oooopps! :/ Hehe.. Pardon me Franklin! :] I really didn't mean to pss someone off. I just thought its a common service people usually use for mailinglists Some slight colors would help I think.
