Your Input on User Forums Needed - Only Happens Once a Decade ; -)

[Johnny Harris]

Hi Lynn,

I would suggest starting out with as few categories as possible. Maybe
Server, Database, ADK, Reports and Studio. Keep it simple.
I don't see the forum being overrun with posts at first. There's very little
traffic on the Mailing List. You can always expand if needed.

I personally like forums. When I'm looking at using a product, one of the
first things I do is look for a user forum. Then look to see
how active it is.

Best Regards,
J. Harris

Importance: High

Hello all,

You've asked several times, and now we are talking about it seriously: user
forums. There's a new website coming along and it will have integrated
forums.

We'd like your feedback on organization. You see, unlike sites like
livecode.com or xojo.com or others that sell an IDE (and add-ons for their
IDE/compiler/etc), we have:

Two Standalone Products (Studio, Server) Application Products ( DB ADK for
XXX, Reports ADK for XXX) Reports (mentioned by itself because the same
reports you write for use within Studio or with Server you can also use with
Reports ADK)

What do you think is the optimal way of organizing these? 

Please consider also... 

That many answers for one ADK type (.net, xojo, Director, etc) may be
entirely relevant to another, with differences being primarily in how the
target platform codes

But then some people may also have questions that involve implementation
strictly by language type as applied to ADKs (local) and Server
implementations.

Im not suggesting yet one particular way. But I am mindful of having a
zillion sub-forums could be very confusing.

What organization would best serve the community?
