[ARMedslack] Thinking of decomissioning this mailing list in favour of a sub forum on LinuxQuestions.org

[Exaga]

Hi,

I can't agree with your personal opinion on forums, Stuart, sorry. :P

However, I do agree that a LQ sub-forum would be a great idea in order to
further raise the profile and individualise Slackware ARM, if for no other
reasons than  to make for easier viewing and referral for people like me.
It's also easier to get involved and post/reply specifically. :)

I'm an avid Slackware acolyte with a strong interest in promoting it on the
RPi. The Raspberry Pi Foundation seems to have little or no interest in
supporting Slackware ARM (or even recognising that it exists) which seems
counter-productive towards their goal of bringing the 'real' fundamentals of
computing back to the masses. So, in my opinion, somebody else has to do it.
The more ways in which Slackware ARM can be promoted and supported the
better, in my view.

Cheers,

Exaga

Hello

As the subject says - I am thinking of asking for a sub forum on LQ and
using that for ARM related stuff.  LQ is the official Slackware questions
forum for x86, so it makes sense from that perspective.  In addition it also
raises the profile of the ARM port - since the communication won't be
squirreled away in an archive mbox.

I am personally not a fan of web forums as I don't like having to click
everywhere - it's easier to use PINE and the keyboard controls; however the
two points above really should outweigh my personal preferences ;-)

Any thoughts?
