What forums (boards) are required for the Sophos UTM 9 group?

ruckus

As an immediate reaction to Astaro.org being unavailable we created two forums - one for general discussions and one for the remainder of the Copernicus Beta.

We will migrate the existing content of https://astaro.org to matching boards so it's preserved however we need new forums in this group.  I'm looking for comments and suggestions on how you would like posts to be grouped together and the forums that therefore need to be created.

You can have as many or as little as you need.  You can, for example, have one for UTM, one for SUM, and one for 'other' such as RED etc.  Your you may want to pick and choose from some or all of the boards on Astaro.org.  This should be seen as a point of fixing any problems with your had with the previous forum structure.

Let me know your needs.

  • As I also said on Astaro.org forum, while we were discussing about new forum layout about a year ago, I don't see the need for separate language forum section, like that was for German language on Astaro.org.
  • I would just recreate the old setup (category wise) -- that should make it easier for you to migrate read-only posts over to this forum from the old board I would think, and keep it usable.

  • I would go with the previous forum categories, subtract the unnecessary ones (german). Maybe something to separate the Up2Date and release notes section? It would be nice to have all the software releases in the same forum with all the associated comments as well.

    I think this is a good Suggestion to separate the up2date stuff
  • in reply to tim2611

    In my opinion we don't need:
    - "Essential Firewall" Edition - Free for business use
    - Online Help and Documentation

    These were not used much, so we should keep the structure as simple as possible.
    Too many sub forums are confusing people...

    Also no need for
    - Language specific forums (as you can tag your posts with your language)

    I agree to the rest of Tim2611's suggestions.

    Can you explain that a bit differently, Joel? I'm not sure what change you're recommending.
