Lukas Kolbe	Saturday 21 August 2004 7:36:56 am I have a little (well, not really little, it needs quite some time and work, I think) suggestion. When I reactivated my account I had from experimenting with ezp2.0 on this site, [email protected] began to send me all new messages in the forum. This is a very handy feature, and it could actually be even <b>much more</b> useful if there would be the possibility to just reply to such a mail and get your answer straight to the forum. So, this would be some kind of the forum emulating a mailinglist. I know, it takes a lot of work to make ezp receiving mails, but I think it could be worth it, and maybe there are other uses for receiving mail than emulating a mailinglist. I would be happy to help with that, even though I'm just beginning to learn the system from a web-guy-perspective. I first thought filing that as a suggestion-bug, but in the forum it can be further discussed and maybe later filed as a bug. -- Lukas
Bård Farstad	Monday 23 August 2004 10:15:38 pm Lukas, this is a good idèa. It's we've also discussed this before and have actually already built similar feature for an other project. There are some practical problems like how much of the mail should actually be posted in the forum, but it would be a nice feature to have in eZ publish. Technically it shoundn't be too much work. --bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc
Alex Jones	Tuesday 24 August 2004 7:04:48 am Bård, is there a possibility that this <i>will</i> be implemented in the forseeable future? Alex [ bald_technologist on the IRC channel (irc.freenode.net): #eZpublish ] <i>When in doubt, clear the cache.</i>
Kevin Myles	Tuesday 24 August 2004 8:06:50 am This feature would be a wonderful contribution, but I think it would be difficult to prevent spam/abuse.
Alex Jones	Tuesday 24 August 2004 8:22:51 am If a user is required to register on the site first, then the system could check incoming messages against the list of registerd users, which would significantly reduce the liklihood of abuse and spam.

Bård Farstad	Tuesday 24 August 2004 12:22:21 pm Alex, this is not part of what we have planned for 3.5 so I can't promise anything. I would like to see this feature here on ez.no, mabye we will do it as part of the constant feature upgrade of ez.no. We should ask Ole nicely for this feature ;) --bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc
Alex Jones	Tuesday 24 August 2004 12:45:36 pm I am quite content to just have it on ez.no for the time being. :D Ole please pelase pelase pelase add this to your list of great improvments to the site! Thanks! Alex [ bald_technologist on the IRC channel (irc.freenode.net): #eZpublish ] <i>When in doubt, clear the cache.</i>
Ole Morten Halvorsen	Wednesday 25 August 2004 1:39:08 am Yes, I like this idea as well. I'll add it to my list, however my list is pretty long at the moment so I can't promise anything.

Alex Jones	Wednesday 25 August 2004 6:32:49 am Ole, is there any chance you might be so kind as to share your current list with us? It would be exciting to see what is coming. Thanks! Alex [ bald_technologist on the IRC channel (irc.freenode.net): #eZpublish ] <i>When in doubt, clear the cache.</i>
Ole Morten Halvorsen	Wednesday 25 August 2004 7:17:38 am Alex, yes I can of course post my list. However the first round of community things is almost done. Most of the task in the near future is not directly related to the community, but other things that needs to be done on ez.no.
