[arm-allstar] Forum

[Patrick Rachels]

This is not a real forum, this is a email thread that is EXTREMELY 
difficult to sort through.
You need a real forum and I'm willing to help set one up but I can't 
continue to hope for support via a email thread.

I've emailed once about the wx alert issues. Sure it's almost pointless 
to use wx alerts since it's pulling from the web and people can get 
alerts on their phone but then again doing a online node is almost 
useless too because if the internet went down or became unstable then 
connecting to a online node is pointless and as we all node the internet 
is a delicate creature.

The one thing a asterisk node does do is make setting up a very 
versatile repeater quite easy but in order to make these nodes/repeaters 
the best they can be we need to be able to pool our knowledge, resources 
and a actual forum and a bug tracking system will do just that.

Not only will it free up much of your and your team's time but it'll 
allow the community to help and communicate with each other.

Right now the one thing that almost NO asterisk BBB node OS/software has 
is a decent forum where users can commune.

If you're interested in the help in setting up a forum I'm interested in 
helping but keep in mind, my time is stretched very thin, my knowledge 
of programming, scripting and electronics very limited. My main strength 
is networking, security and basic hardware.

Hopefully you receive this email and take it seriously. If not then I 
definitely see this version of a Asterisk node failing and the near 
future and I'll be forced to search out another version that has better 
communications, support, ect.

I don't mean this to sound like hate mail, it's really not, this is a 
frustrated email due to lack of communications for a product that has 
potential but not without better support.
