[TYPO3-typo3org] Wanted: forums on typo3.org

[Sebastian Kurfürst]

Hey everybody,

You might remember a time long ago when all mailing-lists were also
available online through typo3.org (which looked quite different back
then)....
However, this feature did not survive a typo3.org relaunch -- but the
demand was always there. Some time later, Steffen Kamper put online
support.typo3.org, which also was a web-based view of all the
newsgroups. However, because we did not manage to maintain this, this is
still offline until now.

However, we'd like to offer a web interface to all our newsgroups on
forums.typo3.org, so that people who do not want a news reader or are
behind a company firewall are able to interact with the other people in
the TYPO3 universe.

Sadly, we're missing the appropriate software to do so. That's why we
ask you:

*Do you know a web-based frontend for newsgroups, or also a forum with a
newsgroup connector?*

Ideally, it should support posting of messages to the newsgroup as well,
and if it costs some dollars, we might be able to find them.

If you don't know such a software, but are a *PHP developer* and want to
help out to get Steffen's solution up and running again (and implement
posting to newsgroups), don't hesitate to contact us either!
You'll find us at admin at typo3.org, you can reply to this newsgroup
posting or the blog posting at
http://buzz.typo3.org/people/sebastian/article/wanted-forums-on-typo3org/ .

Together, we can get forums.typo3.org up and running again!

Thanks,
Sebastian Kurfürst
and the whole the TYPO3 Server Admin Team
