[sword-devel] SWORD forums???

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Hi David.  The old mvnforums software we used was riddled with holes a 
spammer could use to post spam and I doubt the software is still being 
maintained.  The forums had been "read-only" for a decade, and not 
really forums any longer.  When we finally made the switch a month or so 
ago away from our old server, the forum software was not migrated.  If 
there are any references to the forums, they should be changed.  Mailman 
(sword-devel, jsword-devel, bt-devel, etc. + their archives), in 
practice serves as our forum utility.  While user forums still sounds 
like a they have a benefit-- giving users a place to discuss their 
experiences and share their knowledge, we don't currently have a good 
solution for this, though we've thrown around ideas to revive this and 
replace our old mvnforums with something else.
