I just noticed the thread: http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/forum/suggestions/ezno_forum_notification which partly answers my post below ------------------------------------------------------> This is probably an old question and I do not demand a detailed answer or justification on the pros and cons BUT hear me out, please :) As a beginner starting to learn the system it's crucial to keep a close contact with what's going on, both within the community and from the developers side. Communication and availability of quality information are the two keywords. Transparency is the oil that makes everything tick (I guess).
FORUMS
-------- Therefore I think it's VERY important that eZ give the community (and themselves) some addional functions accompanying the forums. 1. Subscribe to threads with email notification system This is time-saving and crucial if you gonna get some response on replies to new and particularly old threads. 2. Archive all posts per user (I would like to be able to list all posts made by a particular user).
ROADMAP
--------- Maybe I'm wrong but from my side I would very much appreciate to see what's going on behind the scene. I do not demand a complete day-to-day list with all the details of job-efforts but rather an easy overview of which projects are being worked on and planned completion date. Quite like the bug-report list. For example, is a more "flexible" messageboard being worked on and if so which features are planned and estimated release date?
Pros with a roadmap is: 1. Quality of information is improved and benefits are quite a few.
Cons with a roadmap is: 1. May put developers under too much pressure (particularly if they fail to deliver on time).
