Shoutbox
Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2012 05:41
Shoutbox is my new proposal for our forums.
I wanted to ask when and how columns in our forum were mixed. Normally names and avatars would be on the left, now they're on the right. It's irrelevant for me if and what we have on the left or on the right, I just wanted to ask this meaningless question. But it's too much for a forum, too much for mailing list, and IRC is really synchronous, in the sense you have to be there to answer or be answered.
Apart from working as an asynchronous chat, it also help with socializing, and some things can be solved faster when asked or proposed there. It's also easier to use it, than starting a topic - at least for small stuff.
So, guys, how about shoutbox?
