As Andrew said, this seems to be generally true across open source projects - developers prefer email and don't or won't use web forums. Forums work great for user communities where the users are self-supporting. Where users need to interact with open source developers to be successful - and that's where oVirt is *today* - it's better to be in the medium the developers prefer where they can answer questions and solve problems. Until oVirt is at the point where the users can support each other effectively in a web-only forum, one idea would be to have a web-based method to post and read threads on the mailing list. This is something being worked on via a Fedora GSoC project right now, and I'm sure we'll see a final solution come from Fedora Engineering: https://fedorahosted.org/hyperkitty/ - - Karsten - -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Architect team: Red Hat Community Architecture & Leadership uri: http://communityleadershipteam.org http://TheOpenSourceWay.org gpg: AD0E0C41
