I wonder if whaleshares will cover golos too?
Cool, can we tip any asset via the forum?
voted for discourse, same as last time. majority could end up at "no change" again though
We will discuss it on the mumble again and make a decision by the end of January 2017.
mumble is by no means an indicator for consent (even less so than the forum).
Following the discussions in the last mumbles and the old threads by Bitsapphire I created a short summary of potential software we could use.
The idea is to streamline communication and improve the exchange between the different communities around the world. One of the goals was the to find a translation plugin, that will help us to talk better with the Chinese community. Further upgrading the forum software will send a strong signal that BitShares is active and improving.
What is wrong with the current forum?
Since Bitshapphire is not active anymore in the BitShares Community anymore, it would be better to have an active community member hosting the forum and be in charge of the maintenance. The goal is so to keep the forum 99% online.
Who could host it?
An active member of the BitShares community, let us discuss who could be suitable.
What are the current hosting costs?
50-60 Euro per month according to Bitsapphire
What happens with the current posts, ranks, and the old forum?
I found this guide for Discourse How to import Simple Machine to Discourse
We can probably import everything to the new forum and put the old posts in an archive.
Why now?
If not now, then never.
The two forums that would suit us the best:
1. Discourse http://www.discourse.org/
Demo: https://meta.discourse.org/
Plug-ins:
- Translation plug in: https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-translator/32630
- Chat/Trollbox plug in: https://meta.discourse.org/t/babble-a-chat-plugin/31753
- Meetup Plugin: https://meta.discourse.org/t/local-meetup-events-plugin/24430
Very cool, Discourse also has a google translate plugin, which could help us to talk better with China.
2. NodeBB https://nodebb.org/
Demo: http://forum.expii.com/
Plug-ins:
- https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodebb-plugin-meetup
- https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodebb-plugin-newsletter
3. Simple Machines Forum (currently used) www.simplemachines.org
Happy voting and a good discussion!
ps.: My favorite is discourse
