<p>Hello Fred,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I think Google provides a good way of querying the mailing-list,
given that the subject-line is good and the content isn't just a
random "Hiiiiiiiii - how to solve command"</p>
<p>Many projects in the unix-world including operating systems rely
heavily on mailing-list communication. And that one works fine.</p>
<p>Could you state more precise what you mean by an online community
board? In my understanding that would be a forum.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Some users aren't able to use the search functions in such forums
either.</p>
<p>By now I can't see a benefit of an "online community board".</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Besides the mailing-list you may participate in the weekly
conference call and ClueCon weekly.</p>
<p>Aside from that: don't be afraid to ask on the list and try to
apply the basic rules you'll find in many online forums: good
titles, be respectful, and put some effort into your text.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Paul<br>

<div>Look I don't wanna start a fire here and have full respect
for the team behind FreeSWITCH.
<br>
<br>
It's 2018 right? I am talking about Evolution. Why doesn't the
FreeSWITCH community have a more up to date online community
board? I am talking about the mailing lists, why not use a
tool to help the community a bit more and make it grow?<br>
<br>
Today I think it's hard to get a view of all the
questions/answers and the mailing list archive is not that
user friendly. If people more easy can search/browse for
answers then less questions will be generated. I don't see a
big and viable community as FreeSWITCH deserves IMO and I am
certain of getting a online community board will increase the
community in that sense. This is one of the first things I
look for when getting a new component or trying to find help.
I am still a beginner of FreeSWITCH even though I've followed
the project for years and I know a community board would help
me and most likely others.
<br>
<br>
It's easy to scope/categorize the content of a community board
and to allow certain discussions of possible configuration
errors vs bugs etc, as a novice like my self I have a hard
time to spot this and when I read answers like "bugs are not
to discussed on the list - file a Jira". If you, like me,
don't even know if this is a mistake by myself and get this
kind of answer I really hesitate to ask.<br>
<br>
All I want is the best for FreeSWITCH. What do you think? <br>
