Open source community :(

[arxentia]

I read a while ago that the community support would go a bit more open doors. Until then, it had not because development team was busy developing and fixing bugs.

Is it out of safety or some other reason that Campsite seems to be kind of closed doors environment albeit an open source software? I like that multilingual functionality I tested on the demo site, but I enjoyed having a wider audience replying to common problems.... it helped me a lot to google around the support site of other open source software when testing other CMS.

Any takes on this?

Regards,

Miguel

Hi Miguel,

Please let us know in what respect are we not open enough?

Mugur,

As a new user, I feel that the community questions and answers over time are not archived in a user friendly way and open environment, to better reuse knowledge from their experiences. If you need me to expand I will try my best to show and tell, but this is not meant to be ill-intentioned criticism and I surely do not mean to flame over it.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi Miguel,

While I agree the community questions and answers are not presented in a very user friendly way, they are as open as they can be:
- anyone can browse and search them: check both the support list (http://code.campware.org/phorum/list.php?8) and the development list (http://code.campware.org/phorum/list.php?9)
- the development timeline and milestones are public (http://code.campware.org/projects/campsite)
- the repository is public (svn://code.campware.org/campsite/trunk/campsite)

If you can help make them more user friendly we'd be happy to receive your help. So far we didn't have the resources to put more time into this.

Thanks,
Mugur

Thanks for your reply. I will check on these links and if needed, will try to find a better way to express myself for the next time I post my concerns. Sorry for my choice of words and phrasing.

Take care.

Sorry for double posting-  I will also check if there is anything that I can contribute to the campsite project. I do have a few hours to spare during the weekends...
