Sorry, I just discovered the changes, some feedback:
-
You clutter the whole structure with too many subcategories. How many release notes and changelogs do you expect? Do you really need 5 different release notes and changelog subcategories? In the previous form we had one announcement category (also in the old forum) and it was never the most used category. And Apps don’t even have a category where they can publish changelogs or announce new versions (and they probably need it the most).
-
Do you really want enhancements in the forum? It’s a nice idea but in reality they are just ignored. Release planning contributions from the community? Not worth the effort: ownCloud OPP - long-term planning, ownCloud OPP - 10.0 release-based planning
Either implement something proper to do this seriously or move it to github. -
The international category is missing. Writing in English is better, however not all are confident in English and are very happy to ask some questions in their native language.
-
Many categories don’t apply for users and by the overwhelming number of categories, many will just end up in the “Server” or “other” category.
-
FAQs and Howtos can be tagged, however without category, they are much less visible for someone who is looking for answers (many ignored it anyway).
Probably it’s not all this bad because the categories are not as important as for other forum software. So if you are not subscribed to certain categories, you can easily miss posts (like I did this one). Sorry for the harsh words. Lately I wasn’t very active, so I can’t really complain.
@kljhlkhglklfgh what do you think?
