Hi Forum, Hi Damian and John, Tomasz Golinski.

From my point of view it would be be quiet more efficient to discuss moc's specific subjects via mailing lists.
moc-user for all users. moc-dev for engaged users, developers, contributers and distribution maintainers. SVN transmissions can be reported via a sepearted moc-svn list. Patches kann be attached as unified diffs. No more c+p needed (what are blanks, what are tabs?). I hate to look for cosmetics like HTML-tags, BBCode and other actions only for "beauty"! And the discussion would be quiet brisker as all subscribers get new posts as fast as defined by their mailsettings ;-) The notification of new topics doesn't work satisfyingly by the forum's software. And yes, a BTS on top will help organizing and fixing upcoming bugs quiet more efficient. All are represented more transparent which could motivate users to help fixing! (I don't have an overview of reported bugs outside Debian and Ubuntu.....)

What do you think?

Finding a better and more responsive way of communicating with MOC users is something we've been discussing amongst ourselves for a few months now, so we couldn't agree more with your suggestions. Several options have been suggested, but we really haven't had the time to progress them.

I believe that the MOC repository will move to GIT at some time in the future, and when that happens we'll be looking for GIT hosting which supports things like mailing lists and issues tracking.
