[wp-forums] Changing things

[Podz]

Let's try and make something more concrete.

I proposed last month that the structure of the forums could be changed:
http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-forums/2006-August/003004.html
Nothing came of that so I take that as being that overall we are
generally happy with how things are in that respect.
If you think different, what should we do and why?

febwa1976 made a useful suggestion:

So how about an FAQ per forum? An FAQ and Resources per forum?
Who wants to get the ball rolling and start to write one?
That way we avoid major structural changes but we do address some problems.

Mods can move posts that are not directly WP to the Misc. forum

We can also state - in the rules? - that non-wp questions may well not
be answered because our priorities are with wp users. That's not to say
they cannot be answered, just that for forum regulars those questions
will be at the bottom of the list.

What about a link to install4free?

Search. A topic all of it's own :)

Documentation. Like with search.

For me it comes down to this:
- how can we improve the running of the forum?
- how can we improve information for new users in the forum?
and then, when we have our house in order, we can look at the other
issues. Right now there are issues we can get sorted and it's not fair
we point outside of our influence when we need to tidy things up..

If the forum were new, and the forum names were set what would we do
different?
