Forum is still the right place to post discussions?
I haven't seen an activity on the forum for a little while so I am wondering where is the best place to post a module system related message: forum or kepler-dev?

Posted by Christopher Brooks at August 21. 2009I prefer email. The website->email gateway seems to be working ok now, but it has failed in the past. Also, the feed about website changes is practically useless as all I get is an empty email message that has the URL. There is no notion of what changed. The website updates and the forum are somewhat orthogonal though.

Posted by Christopher Brooks at August 21. 2009Right, I'm getting the text of the forum posts, but the updates to the websites are blank. Sorry for any confusion here, I was commenting on the website updates being emailed, which are separate from the forum posts being emailed.
I think the web site changes being URLs only was done intentionally, because its really not very readable to send a diff of a web page, and the pages themselves can be long and full of formatting. So its really just a notification that the page changed. In an RSS reader its easy to click on the URL and see the page in the reader, which is how I follow those. I mainly use the email gateway fo rthe forum posts.

Posted by Christopher Brooks at August 21. 2009I'm getting email for the website changes, so it took me a while to realize that in T-Bird I need to view the headers to get the web page. Ideally, the website changes message would at least include the log message for the change. I think this is the varies of the RSS->Email feed though . . .
About the forum email, it would be nice if the message included the name of the poster. In that way it would be possible for me to follow a forum discussion without going to the website.
However, none of these requests for enhancement are very important, the forum and website email updates seem to be working ok.
