What are mailing lists and forums missing for you? What killer features do you think that the Slackware team need to implement beyond what they currently have? I ask in all sincerity because you haven't mentioned it in your post.
- unixhero 11y agoThe community. As a user and potential contributor, I need that. Also I am sounding like a downer... I'm sorry about that. My strong opinions can often be too much, and I get that because they might sound negative. I am saying the things as a long time Slack user that gave up.
- cuckcuckspruce 11y agoBut what is 'the community' to you? To many Slackware users it's precisely the mailing list, the LinuxQuestions forum, the subreddit (/r/slackware), things like slackbuilds.org and docs.slackware.com. So what is missing from what Slackware currently offers that would make have 'the community' to you?
- unixhero 11y agoBased on what I have seen elsewhere (other distros and other major software projects), I am saying it would benefit greatly from a better approach.
- cuckcuckspruce 11y agoOkay, you're talking in circles. What would you like them to do differently in their approach? What could they do differently that would engage you better?
- unixhero 11y agoYeah I am going to end the philology here. My advice and concerns above is more than enough.
