I am aware that you (Joey) [[made_a_choice_against_a_mailing_list|contact]],
|
|
but I would like to see you reconsider.
|
|
|
|
The wiki works well for bugs and
|
|
collaborating on the software, but not for simple user support issues. For
|
|
instance, I spent the last three days waiting for any form of reply to my
|
|
question on IRC (none so far):
|
|
|
|
09 15:49 < madduck> any ideas how to implement a two-level menu
|
|
09 15:40 < madduck> like http://www.abacons.ch/leistungen/treuhand.html ?
|
|
09 15:50 < madduck> the top bar are the main sections
|
|
09 15:50 < madduck> and then i might need subsections (further down) under each
|
|
09 15:50 < madduck> i'd like to do this without hardcoding sections in the template
|
|
09 15:50 < madduck> but at least the main sections are to appear on all pages
|
|
09 15:50 < madduck> so the template needs a slot, i just wonder how best to fill it
|
|
09 15:51 < madduck> i can only ever use one navbar it seems
|
|
09 15:51 < madduck> and i already need the sidebar for something else
|
|
|
|
I would not know where to take this question on the wiki itself.
|
|
|
|
A mailing list is made for these kind of questions, and as we pick up even
|
|
more users, the number of such requests will also increase. --[[madduck]]

>> The [Zwiki](http://zwiki.org) project has ideas to mine in this area. We explored various permutations of wiki and mail list.
|
|
>> Currently Zwiki's [email features](http://zwiki.org/Mail) are good enough that we use it as the mail list and don't run separate
|
|
>> ml software. This is simple and mostly satisfying. Now and then we miss the familiarity and industrial
|
|
>> strength of a standard mail list and its simple time-based archive. We do gateway with [gmane](http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.zope.zwiki) so people
|
|
>> can use that as an alternative. I'm happy to chat about this, ping me..
