Hello!
I think that we could use more categories in our forum.
What about:
What's your opinion?

We have done all that in the past in the current different categories.
Since we are still a relativ small group and have a low-traffic forum, it has worked for us. So it remains a question to the admin, if he will spend work for that.
I've always thought a "newlisp discussion" forum would be a good addition. Sometimes I have a question or thought that's not linux specific, but is newlisp specific.
Can do! This site is long overdue for some improvements, and I am back from vacation and have a little more time to devote to it now. Tell me what you would like to see.
If there is any change it should be based on more than one or two opinions. Personally I like the current layout. Perhaps its good to wait some time and collect suggestions, or perhaps let people vote on different categories? So that a new design it guaranteed to have wide support.
I also believe that Ryon should always have the last word, he took the initiative years ago to put this board online and does all the work to keep it up.
just my two cents :)

I find four categories enough to check so vote to stay the same
although I'd not object to
- an "off topic" category could be available for those so inclined, perhaps visually separated from the lisp categories to make its nature clear
- an "all platforms" category - I agree sometimes a post is relevant to both win32 and linux so perhaps "newlisp (all platforms)" could be a new category.

For "all platforms" the "Lisp in general" category could and has been be used

My reason for more categories would be to make looking for stuff easier. Right now, I post to Win32 almost everything and the most is platform non-specific. So, if I wanted to find if somebody proposed a new feature, I can look for it in the "Feature request". The same with bugs, ...
Basic idea is to categorize posts that are platform non-specific.

It's just "lisp in general" sounds "non-newlisp" stuff - maybe call it "newlisp (all platforms) + lisp in general"

On the forum feature requests often lead to pointing out existing ways of doing things or eventually arise out of what began as "how do I.." posts.
However, being prepared to shift a thread discussion into the appropriate category once discussion stabilised on an angle would address that though.

This is what inspired my question:

Here is one that I think has too many categories:
