Hi,

As some have noticed we have got some spam on our forums.

http:= //bugs.alpinelinux.org/issues/3421

We need someone who can help with the forums, moderation etc,
preferable someone who is willing to try keep the forums alive.


I have tried to keep up in the beginni= ng, but in the end i keep forgetting we have it because i don't use it = myself.
I did add some function to easily remove spam and block t= he users who are spammers, and implemented captcha's.

I am ok to keep drupal for forums (if that is what we want) when moving
to new website, but it might also be an opportunity to move to
something else (move to redmine? fluxbb?), or even shut it down
completely.

With the new website coming= , I see absolutely no need to keep Drupal as only a forum (its not really d= esigned to be one).
Redmine is probably an even worse choice, as = most people don't like redmine anyway, and Ruby/Redmine is a POS to mai= ntain.

Any volunteers?

This seem to be the iss= ue with Alpine. We do not have enough people who want to do infra/support. = I guess its the result of the product we provide.
Forums shouldn&= #39;t be a single persons task to maintain. If thats going to be the case w= e should consider it EOL.
=C2=A0

In the long run, I'd like to have a shared user account
(username/password) for wiki, forums, bugs etc if possible.
