Re: How do we build a more coherent community around Cobalt?
I think the idea of using the Cobalt browser as a space for getting support and building community is valid. However, my take is that the current build needs to be built out of (at least) alpha before we can consider this a viable idea. Hence the need for immediate tools for getting support.
Case in point, I've been getting personal e-mails about how folks can't get their image running asking me for help. They can't open a Cobalt browser, let alone use it to seek support. So what can we do RIGHT NOW to help these people out? A list-serv and an IRC channel is great and all, but there are additional tools that afford different kinds of interactivity and which are superior at supporting a community.
In an effort to provide some moderation, here are the ongoing issues for this discussion thread:
Nobody's dissed the ideas of a wiki and a forum, so I'm taking that as validation that those ideas are not bad. Please continue this discussion.
Rich's idea about incorporating social networking needs to be discussed more.
Using the current build of Cobalt for providing support needs to be discussed more.
More ideas need to be submitted to the list.
I'm getting all verklemmt so discuss amongst yourselves.
