Description
Stephan Herrmann
I'm not sure how, but that forum ended up in the trash can. I've restored it to the IDEs category. I do notice that there is no activity in the forum for this entire year (2011), although the NNTP newsgroup shows a handful of messages. Perhaps this group was a victim of the recent forums upgrade NNTP syncing problems? On another note, you should edit the project metadata in the Eclipse Portal so that the forum description is more up-to-date.

Perhaps this group was > a victim of the recent forums upgrade NNTP syncing problems? Well, earlier today it still worked. And there has been a number of posts this year! I do hope those messages are not completely lost? Do you also see the multiplication of post that I see? > On another note, you should edit the project metadata in the Eclipse Portal so > that the forum description is more up-to-date. I was going to ask for exactly this change. I'll check with the portal in a minute. Thanks for the hint. Sorry, but I get the impression to restored the wrong trash can. The messages I can see are only these *before the project creation*. Hence the subtitle: Object Teams proposal. I noticed this when I saw that the portal has a different description: "Come here for discussions about everything related to Object Teams" Alright, I removed that one that I restored. Not sure what's going on, so hopefully one of the webmasters will chime in with their access to and knowledge of the forums database. I know webmasters are busy these days, OTOH, I'd really love to announce in the forum that the Object Teams project has just graduated! Is there any hope that the vanished forum be restored? Actually right now the link http://www.eclipse.org/forums/eclipse.objectteams is still broken, whereas in the list of forums the partial version (only up-to project creation) appears at the beginning of the project list (i.e., not sorted alphabetically as the others). Great, the forum seems to have fully recovered. I'm leaving this open so webmasters can confirm that everything is indeed in a sane state again. Also, when things are cooling down, and if no risk involved I'd appreciate if a move to "Language IDEs" be considered, but I wouldn't call it a big deal. At this time I think things should be stable. -M I moved the Object Teams forum into the Language IDEs category. Many thanks to both of you! |
