One thing I would like to see fairly quickly is to see a place where progress is posted, and requests can be made for help (edit: about the project, I mean), or help can be volunteered etc. Maybe this thread can be continued for that for the time being?
There was an assumption that members here knew about all of this from a GitHub PR raised a couple of weeks back.
Well I think the majority of members here do not even use GitHub let alone participate in it. Yes there was PR raised in relation to the forum going down. For anyone interested in reading it it’s here https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/pull/1569
Without starting post-mortems into how TVH got to where it is today clearly any long time members must have seen this coming down the track and for whatever reason didn’t act on it. That includes any members that had privileged access to both the forum and the TVH GitHub.
Well discussions were held behind the scenes and it was decided by those involved to go the route outlined in post #2.
I will say those intentions are certainly noble and aspirational but my disappointment lies with the fact that the statement of intent on the future of TVH was made on the LibreELEC forum and not here where it should have been made for all to see.
I’ve always believed that you start as you mean to continue and that action alone doesn’t fill me with a lot of confidence.
When the forum came back on line the content of the first post should have been in line with that of the Christian Hewitt post we see above.
Maybe one of the long standing members like Flole Systems who appeared up until now was the only member with privileged permission of some description for the forum and who does all the commits on the GitHub could join the discussion just to confirm what has been outlined above and possibly supply is with a new roadmap going forward.
