Hi Everyone,
Well give the people what they want I always say!

I've installed a simple forum on a domain I run to test it out with the 
community. If we all like it and Thomas is happy, we can look into pointing a 
subdomain towards it. Or, we can migrate it over to SF. Either way is cool 
with me. My server has loads of bandwidth so I'm happy to host it for the 
time being.

The system isn't based on PHPBB. I thought it fitting that since Roundcube was 
the first major Open Source webmail system born in the Web 2.0 generation, 
that the forum should be to. Its called Vanilla, and it has a lot of great 
features as well as a great community behind it (like ours). 

The forum is here: http://roundforums.verada.net
If you want more information on Vanilla, go here: http://www.getvanilla.com/

If anyone wants to volunteer to moderate a category, feel free to email me. 
Any comments on the forum itself, please reply to all. 

regards,

Geoffrey

..and if you don't want the burden, I'm happy to pop it under my
hosting too, and promote as needed. I can probably get some web
developers who teach with me on codingforums.com to come over and try to
answer some CSS/XHTML/HTML/Design/PHP/MySQL questions, or cross post to
them, or get CSS Beauty in the mix. Either way, a forum would be useful.

You mentioned something about giving away space on SF for the forum.
I'm willing to head up the forum aspect (I don't have much on the skin
yet, but I can work on it in my free time (would be a pleasure!!)) and
manage it.  Of course the devs would have access to "restricted" areas
of moderation/administration, or however you want to do it.  Just let
me know what you need to allow me in, and I'll give it to you!  My
email on Sf is "bpwebman@gmail.com" (no quotes).

I was initially going to use roundcube.bpatterson.net as the
forum-space; but if SF wants to host it, fine by me.  Either will work
in my honest opinion.  But SF would make it look more official.

Eagerly awaiting your reply!!

I last banged on about this last December if memory serves, but why
exactly is there no support forums for Roundcube yet? I know the
developers wish to keep the mailing list going for development
threads, but surely we all agree that mailing lists are not the best
vehicle for end user support?
I know there was talk of setting up a wiki, but I haven't seen any
sight of it yet.
            

The Wiki is on progress. Actually the wiki is ready but it's part of a
Trac system that also hosts the source repository and integrates a
bug-tracker. These are both not yet properly configured. You can start
filling up the Wiki with useful information: http://trac.roundcube.net
but remember that the tracker and the source repository are not
up-to-date.

          

I am happy to setup and host a forum, as long as there is a
consensus that it is needed. I have no desire to splinter the
community though.

            

The decision to use mailing lists was made some time ago and I don't
like to have multiple forums that I need to check periodically.

          

Anyone else agree? Or is this being worked on separately?

Geoffrey
