Hello all...
Spoken about other open source projects: I have been paying
attention from a long time ago on the PostGreSQL
"mailing lists"/"news groups" project.
I am a fan on the how the things are done on this project.
And in the project itself.
There, nothing is maintained on secret. I have seen hot
discussions on the the developer newsgroups. I have learned
a lot of from that discussions. After all it is an Open
Source project. A very mature project, I think so.
Is Hula and Open Source project too ? Don't you think we
have had enought "hidden stuffs" already ?
About hot discussions, sometimes the leader must decide,
after pay attention to all opinions, what is the road to
follow. Every project needs a strong leader (or several
leaders).
Do we have, at least, one "volunter" leader
already ?
Greetings to all...

I think this is something that a user _thinks_ he wants, but
actually
harms the usefulness of a board by dividing it up
prematurely and
preventing users from learning about problems they don't
know they have.
Once there are enough topics and posts that users are
complaining that the
community is too large and there is too much information,
that's a great
problem to have! You can split the board up in a way that
is sensible to
the community that exists as that time.
As for a "developer's only" board, I don't see the
reason why development
should happen somehow in secret. Again, if the forum has so
many users
that most strict policies need to be put into place, this is
a better
problem to have than no regular visitors.
