Certainly my experience is that many people seem to have a very specific idea of what a "forum" is, so i take your points in that regard. On that basis, the use of the word "forum" on the "Join Us" page should also be changed, to e.g. "... or on the r/voidlinux subreddit". > The inactivity of the mailing list could be due to the lack of > any > mention of it on the website, or the fact that you and others > don't > point people to it. When i started using Void last year, the mailing list was mentioned in a few different places, and so i immediately joined it. Despite the fact that the mailing list /was/ being mentioned, i found that people weren't using it. Which doesn't surprise me - although i prefer mailing lists, it seems many people nowadays really don't like using them. So i'm not sure that the inactivity of the mailing list is primarily due to it not being mentioned. > It sounds like some members of the community > have decided the mailing list is dead, while some are still > suggesting > it as a place to ask for help and submit patches.

Yes, i agree it would be good to be clear on this, as i raised this issue myself here: https://github.com/void-linux/void-docs/issues/337#issuecomment-649899928 If it's decided that the mailing list is still an official communication channel, then it should certainly be mentioned on the "Join Us" page. > I don't have a GitHub account, and a few people on IRC have said > the project will accept patches via the mailing list. I hope > that > is still true. i don't have a commit bit for that particular repo, so it's up to those who do. :-) W.r.t. the void-docs repo, for which i /do/ have a commit bit, i am personally happy to take contributions in a variety of forms: not only diffs, but also comments (either here or on r/voidlinux) which simply describe the suggested changes.
