Need for CiviCRM subforum

Post by **mcsmom** » Fri Jun 23, 2006 4:19 am

There is now a huge and unweildy civicrm thread underneath components. Would it ever be considered to just create a subforum for this? I know that there are many components that are very active, but this one seems to be particularly so and since they are cross-CMS (drupal and joomla!) and open source serving mainly the non profit world perhaps it could be an exception? I know that the possibility of a good Open Source CRM system is one thing that makes joomla very attractive to npos. Just a suggestion,

Thanks for the suggestion, we will look into it and let you know

I would endorse and second erin's (mcsmom's suggestion). We actively support the joomla community within the joomla forum, and having our own sub-forum will allow us to create multiple threads rather than one humongous "mother-of-all-threads which we currently use to support *all* of CiviCRM joomla's needs :)

p.s> as a civicrm core developer, i'm a wee bit biased

I would find a subforum on CiviCRM helpful, too. I rank this extension among Joomla's exceptional ones in terms of support, value, scope, and potential.

I agree that CiviCRM has so many different aspects to it that it needs its own subforum within the Components section!

Any volunteers to act as moderator?

I (part of the CiviCRM team) am willing to act as the moderator. (not sure what this entails, but i suspect its not a lot!)

Probably not compared to what you already do keeping track of the one huge thread!

@lobo

Being a moderator on a forum is indeed not too much work (with not too many new posts). A mod gets extra rights on the forum part he is moderating. This means that he can move posts, split threads, create a sticky thread, lock a thread, etc. This would indeed give you opportunities to split up the huge thread, for example.
