O.k., I mixed up two things:
- I think no one expects you to read all users questions and 
problems... and "users helping users" is  what the english board should 
be about (at least I think so). It should be clear that dev-stuff and 
bug-reports about VDR have to appear in the ML - that's one of the 
points mentioned in the posted thread.

- I think FAQs and some installation-troubleshooting could be done by a 
more frequented board, too. There are enough users not feeling too save 
in coding but being able to help others with basic problems. O.k., no 
need to write that...

But one problem still is unsolved: some plugins / addons and patches 
are developped by users of the vdr-portal and discussed only there (in 
german). Maybe an english board would be the first step to include some 
of the english-speaking coders here - and - as a second step - have the 
basic dev discussion here.


btw Klaus:
The GLCD Plugin has changed its maintainer (Andreas Regel took the part 
of Carsten Siebholz). The new project-page is:
http://www.powarman.de/
(there is a hidden link on the old site...)
So, if you're felling like you need to do a minor update of your site 
and you don't know what to change...

best regards from Berlin,
