[dokuwiki] Re: Splitting user and dev lists (forum)

I understood the proposal as a suggestion to move to a platform that easily 
supports the arbitrary partitioning of posts by topic, such as this one for 
Textpattern <http://forum.textpattern.com/>, and to begin with at least a two 
topics, Dev and User.

These forums differ from listservs and yahoo/google grloups in a few regards, 
such as allowing each user to indicate whether or not they receive responses to 
a particular post by email (vs. just visiting the web).  It also allows people 
to browse posts by subject and to constrain searches by subject.  I don't know 
if any of the common forum platforms make it possible to email-subscribe to all 
posts, regardless of topic.

Dokuwiki topics might be:

Customizing layout
Plugin development
Core development
Bug reports
End user support
Installation

I personally have no opinion on the matter.  The only improvement I need is a 
better way to search through the archives.  I have a heck of a time finding 
posts I know are there.
