In general, what are people's expectations? Should I be very active on<br>
Talk, following new threads & participating more? I did try to find a<br>
good RSS feed to subscribe to last year, but I found myself being<br>
drowned out by the number of new forum posts & couldn't easily follow<br>
the forum over RSS. I've since been working under the assumption that if<br>
there is a thread which is particularly interesting, it will get brought<br>
up on -communty, -developer or -users (all of which I'm subscribed to).<br></blockquote></div><br>You may have seen me bugging Jeremiah about this, but I think the <a href="http://maemo.org">maemo.org</a> staff should all wade into the mire of <a href="http://talk.maemo.org">talk.maemo.org</a> on a regular basis and try to participate there.<br>
<br>The mailing lists are much quieter than the forums, and the forums have a much larger number of enthusiast end-users. The docmaster is even more community oriented than the debmaster (who is more developer oriented), and I believe the docmaster should be hip deep in the forums, seeing what questions are getting asked and what things people are talking about and struggling with on a daily basis.<br>
<br>The forum redesign has improved things a bit when it comes to looking at new and active threads. There's a new box on the right side called "Active Topics" that you can use as a launching point...<br><br>
The entire month of May on the maemo-users mailing list looks like a week's worth of posts on t.m.o., and there's very little overlap between talk and maemo-users.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>enthusiast, n.
