This has been running for 2 weeks? I had no idea-must have missed the first announcement...
One suggestion is to put a easily seen link on the opening page of the web site.
it's too hard to find the first time IMHO and I was looking for it.

I'm still weiry about advertising the forum too much, since we haven't decided what we should do about it.
Some people like a forum, others prefer a mailing list.
Having both splits up the users, and the people providing feedback.. And since emc2 is a small-ish community, it's not necessarely a good thing.

Alex

It seems to me that the forum would not detract from the mailing list or divide the users but rather give those folks that go to the Zone who prefer a forum an alternate place to go. IMHO the forum should complement the mailing list and the IRC not be in competition with them. It also gives the new users who are used to a forum an entrance point that is user friendly to windoz people... The forum also adds the functionaly of being able to add a file or an image to a post. Also you can see what folks look like when they are laying down on the job
or sitting on their bikes....

You mean wasting "community" time?

There are folks who just want to have a working CNC system. They aren't Linux programmers, they shouldn't need to be. I've subscribed to the mailing list since 2003, spending countless hours going through the numerous digests filling up my inbox to sift out what I can use. I find forums to be very helpful, the Ubuntu forums are a great example. I started with Ubuntu right when Dapper was released (I think) and the forums provided all the help I needed to get comfortable with Ubuntu.
The EMC community should find this forum to be helpful, especially as more posts capture some of the common issues new users run into. Much easier to search this forum than go through the digest archives!
