[Compcomm] A possible forum merge proposal

[Stephen Moore]

hmm, practically my idea.....

from this thread
viewtopic.php?f=32&t=5&st=0&sk=t&sd=a<http://www.opencompositing.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=5&st=0&sk=t&sd=a>

making this forum, including initially buying the licence, marking the beryl
forums as read only, converting this to phpbb3, etc

is ALL premature

unless we have some kind of release of the merged code that can replace
beryl 0.22 (and whatever version compiz was up to before the beginning of
the merge)

then we make the new forum and start new

i also believe the old forums should be filtered (manually of course) for
threads relevant to merged code

i.e. suggestions, bugs that still remain, documentation that doesn't apply
specifically to beryl or compiz, etc

then we put that information into the new forums

release the new code

and THEN (and only after that point) do we mark the other forums as read
only and open these ones

followed by a period of a few months where people can ask for particular
threads to be taken from the read only threads to the new forums, after
which, no threads will be merged, and people would have to start a new
thread to continue an old thread

that is logical to me

i repeat myself too often :P
