There is still no good centralized source of video taped technical presentations, however.Murray Stokelyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05615584529128840992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170373997768604905.post-84207220275786425592008-04-21T06:52:00.000-07:002008-04-21T06:52:00.000-07:00These are some excellent ideas. Having community feedback mechanisms (voting, comments), I think is the big one that is not compatible with the current sgml structure.<BR/><BR/>Maybe something like that could be launched separately on a sub-domain, so as not to disrupt the current page structure. The current set-up does have several big pro's, as you pointed out in your previous post.<BR/><BR/>My thinking is that the project home page is largely for people that are new to FreeBSD anyways. So, it's not a real problem for it to be basic, [mostly] static information. ... But, the time is certainly ripe for a great community feedback site.kacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16003251245625256598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170373997768604905.post-62638065275875881392008-04-20T22:23:00.000-07:002008-04-20T22:23:00.000-07:00There's some really great ideas there. Most of your ideas would enhance something that is not very obvious right : community spirit. In particular, being able to comment directly on the website would give better involvement of casual users who do not necessarily follow the mailing lists or only a few of them.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully most committers would be okay with having features ideas being voted on by regular users.<BR/><BR/>As for the events, it seems only right to integrate more of the basic multimedia features offered nowadays on the web like pictures or videos.<BR/><BR/>All in all, great ideas. Sure hope they'll get implemented soon.eberkuthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05634788424489801781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170373997768604905.post-1044490821148481932008-04-20T20:34:00.000-07:002008-04-20T20:34:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Grogalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14507350041876738027noreply@blogger.com
