Hi folks,
Currently the two lists, digikam-devel and digikam-users have a severe amount of material backed up in their list moderation queues (the most of any kde.org mailing list actually). Can someone please moderate the list, or a new moderator be chosen to moderate it? Thanks, Ben Cooksley KDE Sysadmin _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |
Hi lists,
Based on the previous lack of response to my email, I have determined these two mailing lists (digikam-devel and digikam-users) to be inactive. As such, they will be deleted unless no objections are raised inside the next 48 hours. Regards, Ben Cooksley KDE Sysadmin _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |
Hi Gilles,
No, I am not crazy. Currently both digikam-devel and digikam-users have very large moderation queues of 55 and 152 messages respectively. All that is needed is for a contributor to step up to perform the very small but crucial role of moderating the list. From a brief look myself, there is legitimate messages that have never seen the list as they are stuck in moderation for both lists. Any volunteers? Regards, Ben Cooksley KDE Sysadmin _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

I agree with Sveinn with a non developer guy can moderate mailing list.
developer are already very busy to manage code and bugzilla. No need to overload developer with something not relevant of source code.
This job can be easily assign to non developer. Thanks in advance for your help...

For the moment I've flushed the queue, that's why many old messages
reached the list. I've also banned some spammers, like a phone provider :-/ I'm not even subscribed to the users list, so if anyone of the mentioned persons want to jump in the boat contact me or Gilles, we will send you what's needed.

Well, I can certainly moderate the users list (not the developer, though, as I don't read it).
From time to time, my internet connection can become a bit hectic, but that doesn't exceed a few days, usually. Let me know if that's what you want, and how it has to be done.

We could also switch to a forum, instead of the "traditonal" mailing-lists. Scribus did it a few months ago http://forums.scribus.net/index.php? and that brought new functionalities.

A few years back Amarok removed their own forum and merged it with the KDE forums. It worked very well, they even have their own structure with topic and language-specific sub-forums. If you want a forum you should get in touch with the KDE forums staff to get it set up. In fact it would probably be a good idea even if you don't get rid of the mailing list. -Todd _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |
Why do you think it'll be better to have it in the KDE forums?
Not all Digikamers are KDE users. Some are under Windows or Mac; and even if I use Digikam with Linux, I don't "use" KDE and know nothing about it, and it might be the case for plenty of Ubuntu users for example. Digikam has its own website; it could host its own users forum, too. Marie-Noëlle 2011/11/10 todd rme <[hidden email]>

I do think a forum would be a good idea as it is generally much easier
to search for known problems than in a mailing list where folks maybe wont ask because they're worried about being seen as a nuisance. I dont see why it being part of the KDE forums would be a problem as it would be a completely self contained sub-forum structure. Seems to me that digikam is so intertwined with KDE that it's the logical place to put it, if you dont use KDE per se then dont look at the rest of the KDE stuff. Just my 10 cents worth....

Good idea. I really think a forum would come in handy.

If anyone with more experience on this list wants to do it, I am fine with this of course. I write this because I get the feeling, that we are heading towards a forum, what is a good thing in my opinion, but I would not love to see this list dying. (Not without knowing how the perception of the forum is.) And since a forum eventually also needs manpower I throw my hat in the ring for this list.

I am yet to see a "forum client" which acts and is configurable like a mail client [1] where you control and choose how to filter, merge, rate (score) messages, user configurable message (mail) editing, etc. etc. With a mailing list, each user is more free to manage information received and composed as it suits hers/his needs.

I don't like forums that much. I use many mailing lists and can easily handle all of them in one program. If every of these programs wants to use a different forum it is hard to follow all interesting threads. I agree that there may be a little benefit especially for photo based stuff.

2011/11/10 Martin (KDE) <[hidden email]> Among the many benefits I appreciate:
- classify the threads in different categories, thus rending browsing and searching much more efficient - subscribe to the only threads or forums you're interested in, by notification or RSS feed - easy referencing to other threads, so you don't have to repeat the same thing many times - discussions are well referenced by Google and the like, so anyone can be lead to an answer even if he/she is not a member. I've been using a lot of forums for years, and find mailing-lists belong to the previous era: it's either you receive everything or nothing (excluding the daily digest that is "unreadable").

Please do not move this list to a forum. In my experience forums are
slower to deal with than mailing lists. I am much happier keeping to a mailing list.

I have to read a RSS feed (or mail) and click to a webpage to get the information I want. Why not bringing the information in the feed/mail directly? This is the same with some of the modern social things (so you get a mail stating that you have a new information in your thread). > - easy referencing to other threads, so you don't have to repeat the > same thing many times That's true a benefit. > - discussions are well referenced by Google and the like, so anyone can > be lead to an answer even if he/she is not a member.

In the end you need both. Some things are easier with Mails (I can create a task out of a mail by one click, off-line reading) Some things are better done in a forum (graphical stuff at least).
