Hello Fellow Project Members, I want to start this old conversation back again once. Not focused on the Shapado service but more about lists and forums. We currently have the Mailing Lists and the Web Forums with no relationship in them. It would be a richer resource pool if we could connect the lists and the forums to each other. The combined effort will be fruitful to both the interfaces. Please have a look at http://linux.netapp.com It has a mailing list and a web forum, having a bi-directional communication channel. There is a parser in place that converts a message originating from the web forum and posts it to the mailing list and vice versa. Implementing this for debian would yield one web forum per mailing list. We could also have a forum bucket for packages where each package could have a web forum with a channel to the package's bug report (email) interface. This could provide, part of, what was discussed as a QTS. With some custom integration, we should be able to interconnect most of the communication channels the project has.

You're right, it is possible to subscribe to certain tags using feeds :-) If a question related to the package foo have a foo tag, and if the foo's package maintainer subscribe to the foo tag feed, and if he/she answer questions about the foo package, Shapado will work as a QTS. If for example a package maintainer is responsible for foo and bar, maybe build a feed like: http://ask.debian.net/questions/tags/foo+bar Bad News: Not all the users use tags or use the proper tags. Good News: Moderators are able to retag questions. Bad News: If the system keeps growing (as we hope) the current moderators are not enough. Good News: Maybe we'll find more volunteers to help us as moderators. Regards, -- Fernando C.
