I'm not sure moving the forums to a 3rd party service is a good idea,
as it means we somewhat lose control of the data (if we ever need to
move it to another service or back to something under our control, is
that possible?). Also, what are the features for moderation, editing,
etc?
Also, our forum puts posts in a prominent place, fully integrated with
the website. I think it is a nice thing. Anyone can also submit articles
for review. This is an important aspect of the website, which makes it
not just a showcase, but also a place where the Haiku community can meet
and discuss. Moving that to a 3rd-party forum engine would be cutting
our links with the community even more than they arlready are.
I don't know if requiring the use of git for article submission is a
good thing. It's ok given the current status of the team (not much
people dedicated to PR and website work, so the devs are handling it
anyway).
But it hasn't always been like that, and it would be nice if we
could get someone doing PR and keeping the website up to date, without
having commit access or even knowledge of how to use git. It would be
great if we could have some easy way to edit the website so someone with
PR skills, but not much technical skills, could contribute to the
website.
