Rockbox mail archiveSubject: Where to post? Too many options?Where to post? Too many options?
From: <postmaster_at_diffenbach.org>
Date: Wed, 07 Jun 2006 21:16:32 -0400 Where should I post, to the forum or to the mailing list? I've been posting to the rockbox-dev list with any general dev or build questions. Lately, I realized there's an online forum. Where should we be posting? I prefer the lists, mostly because I only need to monitor two: rockbox and rock-dev; I just look at what's new in my inbox and read any with interesting-to-me subjects. With the forum, there are several sub-fora. Is there a convenient way to see all new forum post, regardless of the sub-forum posted to? Having multiple options are great, but I'm worried with mailing list, fora, and irc, one risks either annoying people by posting the same thing multiple places, or having my posts never seen by users of the modalities I don't post to. On a related issue, it would be nice to get email notification of new patch-tracker topics (there's probably a setting for this that I need to figure out). And tailored notification of CVS modifications -- e.g., right now button.* and lcd*.* are of interest to me, but in the future other things will be my current focus -- would be nice. And wiki mod notification would be nice too. I'm rambling, but my point is, we're seeing a localized "explosion" of modalities and information, and I'd like some way to get something like an RSS feed or (better) email notification. This is probably a local symptom of a generalized info glut requiring a generalized solution, and no doubt the guy to come up with an answer will make a fortune. Is there a specific answer for rockbox, or a general answer? Received on 2006-06-08 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
