Adobe LiveCycle Forums

I'm working on fixing up the LiveCycle Forums at http://www.adobeforums.com... We've now got a container that shows you all the LiveCycle forums, which really helps see what forums are available. I still think that we've got too many forums, and need your help.

Here's what I think we should have: 1 forum for general LiveCycle questions. Under that, one forum for each of the following products: LiveCycle Designer, LiveCycle Forms, LiveCycle Reader Extensions and LiveCycle Workflow. The other products would be handled in the overall LIveCycle forums, until they got to a number of posts per day and it became unmanageable.

What do you think of this? Something that needs to be done, or am I just looking for trouble in reorganizing the forums at this point?

Like the breakdown that you provided, but think that the forums should be available via NNTP like Macromedia's are.

[They are... Set your news server to adobeforums.com - Mike]

Mike, I really respect you for asking users' opinions about this sort of thing. For some reason, people think it is more 'cool' not to show an open mind, when in fact of course only truly cool people can do so.. :0)

My pennyworth - the products are really discrete, so separate forums do make sense. Some have very little traffic at the moment, but, who cares? I'm sure the guys in suits will be selling truckloads of those apps shortly, so let's keep things as they are.

[Good point... We do need to think about what will happen in the future. A good book that I read recently, The Tipping Point, says that people can maintain good relations with about 150 people at a time... So, I was thinking that we'd keep it until we had about 150 people posting, overall. And then, at that time, move it to seperate forums for the most popular ones. - Mike]

I would like the ability to incorporate RSS feeds to the fourms.

[Yeah, so would I... Let me look into that. - Mike]
