Ok I still have problems with the board layout. The two ideas boards. They are not needed like I have discussed earlier. I suggest moving all topics into the main discussion topic.

Also we now have a private board for us and developers. What I suggested is one for all team members. As in development, project and any teams to do with the org. If we need a seperate one for each group we can divide it up later. Or you could leave it as it is. It's up to you, I'm not too phased as long as there is somewhere private for me to give out my real name (No one will guess it!) and contact information.

Like a general team discussion board? What is the issue from chatting it up in the general discussion board?

the Project Discussion board is for *everyone* to post in
Project Development is just for core developers to post in (anyone in WG-Core-Development, iirc) and *everyone* to view
Private is just for devs to see and post in

the ideas boards are being left as they are, because it's at least a bit organized. might as well keep it that way.

I believe Robbo was expecting to see something like this;

Key:
# category
- board
-- sub-board

# Work Groups
- General Discussion
-- Naming WG (archived)
- Project Management
- Development Group
- Marketing Group
- Site Group
-- Server Group

I just don't like the fact we have those 2 boards when they are rarely used and in a bad spot. It still doesn't make sense where they are located.

Have a look at it.

The category is Jaelta Core. Then you have a Project discussion board. Which is read/write public. Then you have a private board which is read public. It then childs a read/write public board which is called Core Developement Ideas. Does this not seem stupid to anyone else?

Jaelta Core
- Project Discussion (are we not allowed to have ideas here?)
- Project Developement (read only)
  - Core Developement Ideas (anyone can post in a child under somewhere you can't post... ???)
  - Module Developement Ideas (same as above)
- --other stuff--

Now look at it again.

My suggestions. If you are going to have an ideas board then call it 'Ideas'. We are already in the 'Jaelta Core' category. And don't put it 'under' a read only board. Put it under the board everyone can use so that people know they can use the sub forums.
Next, this is core. We are developing core in this category. Not modules. Why are module ideas having their own board under the Core category? If you want to have them then put them somewhere else.

So I think it should look like this.

Jaelta Core
- Project Discussion
- Project Developement
- Project Management
- Private Discussion (all teams within core, so developers and managers. or even just all teams)

Any ideas can easily be posted in project discussion.

Do note, I went through all of this in my first post, would of been nice if you said something then if you had an issue. It is even more simplified in my original post actually. Just because there is this feature where you can categorize stuff multiple times doesn't mean you have to do it. Especially when we have so little posts per day. If they ever got out of hand you could then split things up and you would have data so you would know how to split it up. More boards != more discussions.

I mean instead of a private board for devs and managers why not just one for both? I thought that was clear in my post. I'm fine either way though.

Ok and last thing. If you want to keep the "Core Development Ideas" could you move it so it isn't the child of a read-only board. Under Project Discussion? And maybe rename it to something like "Core ideas"? I dunno. Main thing for me is to just move it so people new to the site know they can post there.

I've just been sorting through them to make sure I move the topics to the appropriate board. I'm going to remove the board once I'm done.
