There already where a couple of suggestions pointed out since the start back in October 2004. Please add the ones I forgot: There already where a couple of suggestions pointed out since the start back in October 2004. Please add the ones I forgot:

  ++ Current Problems
   
  The current structure of the support forums has a couple of limitations. There is no clear expansion path. If we have a new forum, do we really add a "for phpWebSite" to it? Or is that obvious by people being on the phpWebSite support site?
   
  If a forum is within a "phpWebSite versions 0.9.x-x" forum, do we really need to repeat that information by calling the contained forums "Something 0.9.x-x"?
   
  Where's the difference between Help and Open Discussion? The level of urgency?
   
  Did phpWebSite from a users point of view change between 0.9, 0.10 and 0.10.1? Why do we want to differentiate that?
   
   
  ++ Proposals
   
  +++ 4 Categories (instead of 6):
   
  * Announcements
  * Getting started
  * "Living with phpWebSite"
  * Lounge
   
   
  +++ Announcements
   
  * Modules
  * Security
  * Support Forums
   
   
  +++ Getting started
   
  The place where all the newbies should come. I'm not too sure about the structure, but maybe:
   
  * Evaluation ("Will phpWebSite work for me?")
  * Installation / Configuration
  ** tagged by Windows / Linux
  * FAQs
   
   
  +++ Living with phpWebSite
   
  * Themes
  * Modules
  * Paid Support
  * Developement
  * Everything else
   
  Note, that we don't differentiate between the urgency-level here. Also, it should be clear where people put their stuff. If not, it's back to the drawing-board again.
   
  +++ Lounge
   
  * Moderators
  * Off-Topic
  * Designer's Gallery
  * Suggestions for this forum
