SVNForum.org Feedback

SVNForum.org has been up and running for approximately 9 months now. With over 350 registered users and more signing up every day, I wanted to take a step back and get some good quality feedback from the people who make this forum what it is.    I am opening up this post to any and all ideas, suggestions, recommendations, complaints and compliments. What can be done with this website to make it better and more helpful to the Subversion community? Here are a few questions to get you thinking about things:    - Are the available forums on the site (i.e. "General Setup..", "Linux..", etc.) appropriate? Should there be more or less forum topics? More specific or more general? What are your suggestions?    - Are there enough features on the site? Should polls be posted on the front page more often? Is the RSS feed of recent posts helpful?    - Could more information delivery devices be helpful to the site, i.e. a Subversion blog or newsletter?    - Would integration of the forums with the official Subversion mailing list improve the usefulness of the site?      Again, all suggestions will be considered, so don't hold back!    - Aaron

I think the forum is really cool, very useful for beginning Subversion users. Categories seem good to me. Integration with the mailing list would be very cool, I sometimes browse the mailing list, but I actually prefer this forum, it's easier to read. Maybe it would be nice to have a kind of wiki with some HOWTO's or a FAQ. The SVN book is good, but sometimes a nice tutorial would be good as well.

I agree with Manuzhai that integration with the mailing lists will definitely add to the features of this website. Earlier I used to search on net on anything related to Subversion but now whenever I requires any new information, I first check in this website.    Though I am a new user, in my views, I feel the following changes or improvements if being made will definitely give this website an edge over it's competitors.    a) A mailing list integration.  b) Seperate links on tutorials etc which can be contributed by the users of this forum. This is because the user's might have many experiences to share related to Subversion and it definitely comes handy.  c) Related TODOs etc which user felt that could be done or incorporated in Subversion. Note : this of course integrated in the official website of Subversion but here it will help.  d) Finally tasks, jobs etc on Subversion.    What others say ?    Thanks

Just storming my brain:    A special forum for the GUI front ends would be nice.  A forum for software engineering (for questions like: shell I put my dll into the svn-project or is it better to include the source and build also the dll).  A forum that is about configuration managment in general and how Subversion is concerned.    But that was just brainstorming.
