I believe I speak for everyone that we like this site and want it to flourish also in future.
From what I conclude, the main problem is that Alex has already covered so much on PDA & mobile content that there is not so much left for us to say. To have more fervent discussions again, he should expand the focus of his forum.
I think Alex was looking for ideas how to expand the forum.
My first ideas:
Step 1.
Currently we have the following forum layout:
Code:
- Mobile Web Channels
---iSilo Web Channel Collection
---MobiPocket eNews
---HandStory Clips
---New Links
---Links Discussion
- E-Books
---Book Links
---Book Reader Software
---Book Review
- Mobile Content Viewers
---iSilo/iSiloX
---MobiPocket
---HandStory
---Plucker
---Avantgo
- Mobile Hardware/Software
---General Palm Discussion
---General PPC Discussion
---Emerging Technologies
- Community
---Announcements
---Suggestions/Feedback
---Costa Del Sol
One thing we could do is create one
new root section called e.g. 'Mobile PDA', and restructure the forum:
Code:
- Mobile PDA
---Web Channels (with its own subsections)
---Content Viewers (with its own subsections)
---Hardware/Software (with its own subsections)
- E-Books
---Book Links
---Book Reader Software
---Book Review
- Community
---Announcements
---Suggestions/Feedback
---Costa Del Sol
Now our root forum has only three sections, nothing of the old content has been removed, still with plenty of space for something new.
Step 2.
Take a look at
Costa Del Sol and see if there are any interesting topics we can use to create new forum sections.
How about this new section:
Code:
- Sapid Computer News
---Scene
---Reviews
Just one idea. "Scene" could imply anything related to computer-scene such as security, web development, ...
I must sleep over that to come up with more!
