<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hello Pauline,<br>
<br>
This is a bit odd - does it time-out? The alternative URL for the
forum is <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://discussions.zoho.com/eprints">https://discussions.zoho.com/eprints</a><br>
<br>
I like your idea about keeping a log - I was thinking of adding
something similar to our wiki pages. As I wrote earlier, I still
have few other websites/resources to announce, where all the
information (and links) can be found at one glance, including
roadmaps/features election. This will be ready in the next week or
two.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Seb.<br>
<br>

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>

EPrints Forums</span></div>

<div 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" target="_blank"
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.</div>
