Do developers of Puppy versions need a place to talk to each other?

[bigpup]

This is an idea.

Have a place on the forum for developers of all these Puppy versions to go to talk to each other, specifically.
Just a place for them to post ideas, questions, tips, suggestions, whatever, to other developers of Puppy versions.

This would be discussions at a much higher level, than the users section of the forum.

Someplace for developers to bounce stuff of of each other.
Examples:
How did you do this?
I am thinking to do this, what do you think?
Should we start having get in Puppy versions?
I am working on this, but just seem to be stuck, at this point?
What programs should we be putting in Puppy Linux?
What about providing updates?
Woof-CE is giving me this problem. How did you get it to work?
Etc.... etc........

Well maybe, other people could jump in, if they see something, they could offer useful information about.

But definitely not a place to post issues or questions from users or beginners.

Puppy Developers, What do you think?

Hi @bigpup :
I am not Developer myself.... but this is a really good Idea.

It would be a great Step forwards to more efficient/ focused Communication about Puppy or other Dog`s Development .......
As it is mentioned here now ....i wonder why this Idea was not brought up earlier!

Nevertheless

good idea, but how to implement is purposefully. Puppy needs a separate thing like Slack.

Hi @ndujoe2 :

Puppy needs a separate thing like Slack.

Sorry.....but what does it mean

There is already a Github discussion area which is so far unused:
https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... ns/landing

All such initiatives need active participants to be successful......

That link is not working for me.
I get 404 error and page not found.

Only maintainers can see this page and enable Discussions

So it is a "private" area.........

Who are the "maintainers"? Seems like a lack of those might be the cause that there are no discussions.

I do run into some interesting things time to time building KLV's and WDL's that translate over to Puppy systems.

should now work........

Slack is a communicating, programming interface where developers can cooperate, create and improve code

I agree, look at the statistics at https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... ntributors. There are very few active contributors, and most of them change a line here or there and not very often.

For this to work, all woof-CE users need to start using git to manage their private woof-CE changes and submit them for inclusion into woof-CE via pull requests. Otherwise, it's a mostly dead project with many unhealthy forks.
