(Till about 18.00 Netherlands time). Maybe we could organize such a thing 1 week before have the meeting so we can have as much as possible people attending this meeting. I don't have free time till monday so if you can propose one or two date + hour it would be great.

We could maybe set up a x2go project on alioth as we have done for CipUX http://alioth.debian.org/projects/cipux In order to have mailing list, bug track, forum, webpage, SCM (git, svn, ...)

Website, manual, extra mailinglist
by Paul van der Vlis 07 Oct '09

Hello, I see that the website is renewed: http://www.x2go.org/ Great! and that there is a new manual: http://www.x2go.org/fileadmin/doc/en.installation.x2go.pdf Great! I also see a new mailinglist: https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-usage I am not so sure it is a good idea to have a second mailinglist for "usage", because I see in other projects that developpers don't read a "usage" list, and they are experienced users. In many "usage"-lists I see only people asking for support, and no answers... I think the best would be at the moment to have only one mailinglist, but maybe it would be better when the name would be changed in something like "x2go", and not "x2go-dev". Communcation here in de mailinglist could be much better, why did nobody tell about all of this here on the list? And about the new versions of the software? For some time I found out about the great service of "gmane": http://gmane.org/ If you subscribe a mailinglist there, it can also be searched, read as news, via a webinterface, or headers as RSS feed. You can also post via news or a webinterface http://gmane.org/post.php I think we should add the mailinglist to gmane, then people can access the list the way they like. Any problems with that? With regards, Paul van der Vlis.
