Hi,
Csound mailing list
Csound@listserv.heanet.ie
https://listserv.heanet.ie/cgi-bin/wa?A0=CSOUND
Send bugs reports to
https://github.com/csound/csound/issues
Discussions of bugs and features can be posted here
I came across this https://blog.discourse.org/2016/03/free-discourse-forum-hosting-for-community-friendly-github-projects/ Where the guys at discourse (a web based discussion forum) are offering free hosting for github based open source projects. To qualify they say the project needs 2000+ stars and 30+ contributors but in the first comment Jeff Atwood says that they are willing to bend those rules for notable projects, which I feel Csound is one. I think having an online discussion forum to supplement the email list would be a nice addition. I think a lot of newer users wouldn't use a mailing list and would be more comfortable with the discussion forum, it would also make a nice addition to the csound.github.io website, making pretty much everything then centralised to there. I would say that it would be possible as well to have the forum reflect what is in the discussion list and vice-versa. Just thought it would be worth discussing, Thanks Ed |

This is a great idea. I also think csound needs an online forum. Momentum for the stack exchange site seems to have waned. On 4 Dec 2016 19:55, "Ed Costello" <phasereset@gmail.com> wrote:

If no one objects, I might go ahead an apply for this. I think an online forum is badly needed. On 4 December 2016 at 20:16, Rory Walsh <rorywalsh@ear.ie> wrote:

+1! The Cabbage forum is proof that having one is a great idea, and especially for newcomers. On 08/12/16 05:31, Rory Walsh wrote: > If no one objects, I might go ahead an apply for this. I think an online > forum is badly needed. > > On 4 December 2016 at 20:16, Rory Walsh |
