O$10: what is the rationale to skip O$9 ?

[Andrew Stolarz]

When im looking for another framework, open source modules etc to work with.

One of my MAIN things I look at before I even touch it:  is how big the
community is, and how active are the discussions, and if they have good
documentation.


This is and continues to be one of the main drawbacks of Omnis to gain new
users and even help existing users. Iv asked many developer friends (under
35) over the last year or so to take a look at Omnis as one of the tools
they use.

Guess what, they would eventually come back to me that they are not
interested in something that they cant find answers quickly online. I told
them to join the mailing list and got some quirky responses like if I still
use dial-up internet etc.


I get it this list has been great, but email lists are pointless if you
cant build visibility online, perform quick searches, and attract others.


We talked about over the years to make the move over to a google groups (or
something similar). I created this group on google few years ago with
little momentum. (if be happy to make Omnis admin to this group so they can
take over  etc).

With google groups, you can still opt-in to use only email for
communication, but at the same time the conversations are available to be
searched online via. google for the world to see.
