Hi,
I reviewed the opencxx pages on SourceForge and I found out that we have a
problem with unused SF features, e.g. discussion forums.
There are a few dated messages in miscellaneous forums that have never
been responded to, because we are not monitoring the forums. Also we are
not really using bug tracker or patch manager.
I found out that SourceForge now enables hiding those features and I vote
just to hide them. There is nothing more pathetic than a discussion forum
with the latest message posted a year ago. My first impression when I see
something like that is "this project is an ex-project" :-) It also does
not give a clue, that there is a real mailing list.
Below you find summary of open SF features. I suggest to shut down
everything except CVS (of course), News, File releases and Mailing Lists
(not to be confused with Forums). I Hope I did not miss anything.
I am also working on a facelift of the webpage at opencxx.sf.net, where I
want to put the info e.g. on how to report bugs or request features.
Before I shut down the services I will review the old messages there and
reply to them.
I am not sure if there is a way of disabling forums associated with project
news, while still using the news. If not, I will create a new user who will
be monitoring the news forums and forward his SF e-mails to our mailing
list.
Please let me know ASAP if you have any objections. If not, I will shut the
unused services within one-week timeframe.
Best regards
Grzegorz
