A bit more background on the forum: I really needed a place where
we can have proper discussions about upcoming features. Some
features need everyone's opinions and expertise (take ACL for
instance) and some follow-up. Ho by the way, everyone's welcome to
the Forum. The topics should be about development "stuff" but not
necessarily brought by developers.<br>
<br>
Also, we will likely, in the future, need more forums (eg. for
non-technical discussions). Will come soon when I upgrade my Zoho
account (Zoho is the forum company we're using) :)<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Ladies and gentlemen,<br>
<br>
I would like to announce you ... the EPrints Forums (for
developers)!<br>
<br>
The EP-Tech mailing-list is a good place to seek for help to
install/configure the problem and even to report bugs. But
it is not an appropriate tool to have in-depth conversations
about, for instance, new features for the software. So I
have decided to set-up a forum where people can ask
questions, bring ideas or make announcements (you will see
there are different post categories).<br>
<br>
Important note: the forum DOES NOT replace the EP-Tech
mailing-list. This is a complimentary tool. <br>
<br>
<br>
<b>What is it for?</b><br>
<br>
To discuss new features/ideas/directions for EPrints. The
forum aims to discuss ideas around the development of the
software only at this stage.<br>
<br>
** To discuss installation/configuration problems, please
keep on using the mailing-list **<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>How can I use it?</b><br>
<br>
The forum is open to everybody - you don't need to sign up
to post but I highly encourage to -at least- sign in with
your Google/Facebook/Yahoo account to keep a trace of who's
starting a conversation.<br>
<br>
You may also vote on posts - a useful way to view popular
issues/features.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Where is it?</b><br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://forum.eprints.org/">http://forum.eprints.org/</a>
will redirect you to the forum.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>What happens next?</b><br>
<br>
I will be setting-up some extra forums in the near future to
allow more narrowed-down topics (e.g. a divide between
short-term and long-term features).<br>
<br>
I am also in the process of setting up some extra resources
for developers:<br>
<br>
- a centralised web-site to easily find information about
the API, HowTo's, etc.<br>
- a few pages describing the current road-maps for the
short-term release (3.3.13) and the long-term release (4)<br>
<br>
I hope this forum to complement these activities especially
the election of new features for the upcoming releases.<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Moderation</b><br>
<br>
I'm currently the only moderator. Abusive/spam/dodgy posts
will be deleted without warning.<br>
<br>
<br>
I hope you will find this useful and don't be shy to bring
your ideas forward :-)<br>
<br>
Enjoy,<br>
Seb.<o:p></o:p></p>
