Comment(by mo):
The core dev of Askbot got back to me pretty quickly. Kudos. :)
{{{
[12:38:09] < gamambel> | evgeny: hi! thanks for getting back to me so
quickly.
[12:38:32] < gamambel> | evgeny: what do you mean by "user groups
feature"? i didn't see anything resembling "subforums".
[12:39:09] < evgeny> | sure - groups are like tags that mark people
and content
[12:39:21] < gamambel> | evgeny: also, we require guest postings from
non-registered users. this has been a feature suggestion
on askbot forums already. what do you think, would it be
manageable to hack that into askbot?
[12:39:50] < evgeny> | the question is - what are you going to do
with spam?
[12:39:57] < gamambel> | evgeny: to be clear, i am not asking you to
add all "our" features. we are considering, if you/your
time doesn't have time or the willingness to implement it, to
maybe do it ourselves.
[12:40:18] < evgeny> | you're going to get a lot of robot-posted
trash
[12:40:38] < gamambel> | evgeny: CAPTCHA for guest postings? add them
to a moderation queue (not visible to the public)? i
don't really know.
[12:40:47] < evgeny> | possible
[12:41:09] < evgeny> | anonymous user can be emulated by auto-
assigning posts to a special user account
[12:41:27] < evgeny> | some spam will get past captcha too
[12:41:41] < evgeny> | we have moderation
[12:41:56] < evgeny> | also - we have "reply by email"
[12:42:04] < gamambel> | especially since we want to avoid recaptcha
because it transmits the user IP to google servers...
[12:42:31] < evgeny> | I think you will need some form of captcha to
deal with spam
[12:42:32] < gamambel> | can i interact with askbot completely by mail?
say, subscribe to a certain tag, get new questions my
mail, and then answer via mail?
[12:42:40] < evgeny> | or some clever system for auto-dedection
[12:42:41] < gamambel> | how do users "log in" via mail?
[12:42:54] < evgeny> | "interact completely" - no
[12:43:03] < evgeny> | but you can ask, answer and comment
[12:43:14] < evgeny> | users first register on the site
[12:43:20] < evgeny> | then they get an email
[12:43:24] < gamambel> | that would be killer :) most tor people don't
really like the idea of a web forum, but are used to
answering questions on mailinglists.
[12:43:56] < evgeny> | sure - it could be useful
[12:45:28] < gamambel> | one last question for now then: you seem to be
available for contract work if we wanted a certain
feature but couldn't do it ourselves. is that correct?
[12:45:47] < evgeny> | yes - that's what we do. full time now.
[12:46:23] < gamambel> | nice! hope it works out for you :)
[12:46:59] < evgeny> | I'm working on askbot full time for a year
now, it's going quite well.
[12:47:14] < evgeny> | based in Chile now
[12:47:48] < gamambel> | if i have more questions i will find you here
or via email. if you have comments, likewise. are you
okay with me posting this IRC log with our trac ticket?
[12:48:00] < gamambel> | thank you for taking the time.
[12:48:29] < evgeny> | sure thing
[12:48:48] < gamambel> | great!
