Talk:Websites/Taskforce/Proposals/Universal tab

Mailing lists / Newsgroups?

Mozilla discussions are available three ways, mirrored to each other:

• Google groups
• NNTP newsgroups
• Mailing lists

I use one of them, I know about another, and I'm vaguely aware of the third. If I wanted to give pointers to all three, so that, in answer to a support question, I could give the user the choice, where would I find them? IMHO an easily discoverable link to them on this proposed "universal tab" would be a useful thing. — Tonymec 14:16, 17 July 2011 (PDT)

Good suggestion about making the different types of discussions easy to find. The Forums page on www.mozilla.org has a way to link to all three options at once -- for instance, see http://www.mozilla.org/about/forums/#announce -- so we could pull out relevant forums for where you are in the universe and link to the relevant section of that Forums page. -- David

Ah, so that's why I couldn't find that page. It is mentioned in the footer all right, but under "Forums", which to me means a web forum (see e.g. http://forums.mozillazine.org/ ) and while searching for newsgroups (Google or NNTP) and mailing lists I never thought that "Forums" might be it. Wouldn't there be some more all-encompassing term? "Peer-to-peer support" maybe? Or "Discussion groups"? — Tonymec 23:47, 19 July 2011 (PDT)
