Re: oVirt Forum Pilot

Thanks for your reply. I surely would like to help here. I can provide a linux server (VM) that we can use to test the mailman / mybb combo.

Only thing needed (or not needed, but would be nice) is to have an A record (fa dev.ovirt.org) pointing to the ip address of the dev server.

Let me know if this is acceptable and I'll setup the vm.

summary post: http://iquaid.org/2012/05/14/mailing-list-web-interface-magic/ Thanks again for not only caring about this problem, but for being willing to help fix it. Do you want to work with me (and anyone else interested) on trying out the Mailman changes as they come live? We could put up a development environment that pulls in the nightly Mailman so we could try out features as they are developed, maybe even help make it all better. :) - Karsten >>> Thanks :) >>> >>> Op 15 mei 2012, om 09:44 heeft Itamar Heim het volgende >>> geschreven: >>> >>>> On 05/15/2012 09:45 AM, Barry Kostjens wrote: >>>>> Anyone? >>>> >>>> I thought karsten summarized this nicely. >>>> http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/infra/2012-May/000362.html >>>> >>>> i think the consensus was forum would be great, but would >>>> either need a two-way bridge to mailing list, or a pilot >>>> with someone acting as a liaison forwarding information >>>> between the forum and the mailing list. also, there is the >>>> possibility mailman will have this option built it later >>>> which is worth promoting / waiting for if will be >>>> available soon. >>>> >>>>> >>>>> I still really do feel like it would be a great addition >>>>> for the community. >>>>> >>>>> Op 11 mei 2012, om 14:43 heeft Barry Kostjens het >>>>> volgende geschreven: >>>>> >>>>>> Any more opinions on this? >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> Op 10 mei 2012, om 09:06 heeft Barry Kostjens het >>>>>> volgende geschreven: >>>>>> >>>>>>> I have been searching for a gateway mod, but such >>>>>>> thing does not exits (at least, not for mybb). >>>>>>> >>>>>>> Also my personal opinion is that it wouldn't be >>>>>>> really usefull.
