Hi Herbert,
I understand. That confirms my initial assertion, when I said that "I changed, but community was kind of the same". I'm not a developer, but some kind of old user coming back (but not a beginner, anymore). I don't think that there is a need for a new list. Maybe just talking here of more advanced topics here will show that beginners change, without becoming devs ;-).
Cheers,
Offray

Hi Offray,
to make my point more explicit:
IMO our community is small and fragmentation (of communication channels) is not helpful. There are some 'special' concerns like VMDev and Beginners that 'justify' their own channels but most additional Squeak channels have dried out quickly.
Should have said this in the first place instead of giving tips how to mitigate what you seemed to dislike on Squeak dev. :-))
Cheers,
Herbert

Thanks Ron and Herbert,
I would rater try to improve a "users lists" that filter commits in a dev-list. That's one of the interesting points of systems like discourse: you can create subthreads for particular information and connect or not to them, create hooks and get only the information you are interested in.
Seems that we have plenty of channels and I don't know if one more is going to help with the problem of more fluid communication in the community that helps with dynamics of governance (like voting). In the case of Manjaro, I was already in an old forum that was migrated to discourse, so I don't know a lot about details on managing Spam. Discourse have spam filters activate and you only get to post a lot of information with links, if you have interacted with the community enough, with preset rules. That means that your first post, as a member could have maybe two links, but you can not start to put a lot of links in the same post, unless you gain some reputation, which discourages spammers.
For me the important thing is: can we have a more permanent and fluid conversation that shows the pulse and vitality of this community? If the way to do it is to be in the developers list, filter commits with extra technical info, and having a beginners list with almost no entries, so we are not addressing properly the transitions and middle places between users and developers: you have too much info or too little. More granular information is a place where forums like discourse could help.
Cheers,
Offray

Hi Offray,
I like the idea of forums. Always have. Did the Manjaro community have trouble with spam? How is it moderated? Email lists seem to be less vulnerable to spam, although we have received some in the past. Forums seem to need constant moderation to ensure they are not invaded by spam. I seem to remember there was a forum way back when. There is a forum interface to the mailing list already: http://forum.world.st/Squeak-Beginners-f107673.html http://forum.world.st/Squeak-Beginners-f107673.html. What do you think Discourse would add to the community over what we have already?
Also, note there are a few other places where we sort of gather. #IRC #squeak http://tunes.org/~nef/logs/squeak/ http://tunes.org/%7Enef/logs/squeak/ don't see much going on there. Google Plus Group: https://plus.google.com/u/1/communities/111117917267462353507 https://plus.google.com/u/1/communities/111117917267462353507. Twitter https://twitter.com/SqueakSmalltalk. Planet Squeak: http://planet.squeak.org/ and https://news.squeak.org/ wow it has been a long time since I made a post!
I imagine someone probably did a slack channel. Yes I was correct: http://squeak.org/community/
All the best,
Ron Teitelbaum

Hi Offray, Squeak dev always has been the place to be and newbies was just invented to have a lower hurdle on entry. For the automatic traffic there's (spam) filters in your mail program. Please feel free move over, we are not so many in our community that separate lists are needed. My 2c. Cheers, Herbert Am 06.02.2018 um 17:13 schrieb Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas:Hi Ron, I'm just in the beginners list (when I subscribed I was a beginner and I never thought of myself as a developer). I have seen the dev list, but there is a lot of automatic mail send by commit activity. I'm not sure if I want such traffic in my mail inbox. Anyway, having proper feedback places is important and I wonder if some kind of middle place between developers and beginners is needed. In the Pharo case, the users list has pretty good activity without details about commits. Maybe beginners is misleading and we need a users list or setup something like discourse[1] to improve communication. In the Manjaro case, it has worked pretty well[2] (but, of course, infrastructure by itself is not a warranty).
