[seam-dev] Seam 3 space on JBoss Community

Thu Mar 18 19:25:03 EDT 2010

Hi,

As a SEAM user I can tell that I really don't like the current website.

Its hard to navigate, hard to find information, hard to keep track of my
threads in the forum, timeout time is too short, and some other things.

If moving allows for a better experience, I'm all for it. But if we can
improve the current web site in order to fix most of the issues that the
community complains I'm also good with that.

If we keep on the current site, why not try to promote more actively that
the community helps improving it? Put a link on the first page, pointing to
the most urgent issues on the site. I would love to help, but to be honest I
don't know where to start. I bet that there are more people in my position.

Anyway, keep up the great work :-)

By the way the performance in of the current website in Portugal is quite
ok.
