Team

• Reggie Suplido leads the forum implementation.

Volunteer Moderators

• Tim Samoff

Volunteer Testers

• Tim Samoff
• Chad Spears
• Adrian Yanes

Engine

The MeeGo forum engine was agreed to be vBulletin. See the Forum_/_Talk wiki page and the post communicating the decision.

URL

• forum.meego.com seems to be the most popular vote in the thread discussing this on meego-community.

Structure

DRAFT UNDER DISCUSSION

We all agree on these basic principles:

1. Start simple and growing organically based on concrete needs.
2. Avoid forum / mailing list duplication to cover the same purpose.

• General: MeeGo related topics not classified in a specific subforum.
• Application Developer Support: Offer/get help dealing with application developer tools and APIs.
• Community Working Group: Discussion about infrastructure, processes, marketing and events for the MeeGo project
• Off-topic: Totally unrelated but still worth discussing between ameegos.

Candidates

• meego.com: Web infrastructure and community processes. Official channel of the Community Working Group. ((if the meego-community mailing list accepts the move))
• Localization - if the L10n mailing list decides to move here. Otherwise let's avoid duplication.
• Design - If there is interest and critical mass.
• Using MeeGo - by the time a release for end users is offered. Probably better if having Netbook and Handset subforums since the first day?
• Devices - has the risk of being a can of worms & requires further discussion. Will also depend on the take of the MeeGo device vendors, the amount of devices, the differences between them... Not really needed before first devices are approaching the shops.
