As for the Discussions Lobby - I have a 32" monitor here, and when I go to said Lobby, the entire browser window is taken up with cute icons, banners and clickables ... ok, scroll down to find some content. Kinda like putting all the advertisements on the front page of the newspaper, and the stuff you're looking for on page 2+.
Yes, way too much wasted space! Even the emails sent out have wasted white space that makes it harder to see the meat of the message. Maybe if we call complain next week at the conference Jack will get the message.
So IOW's, there is no logical "Python forum". I have to search, filter, tag, content, blog rather than just go to a forum specific to python?
When I arrived to the new forum my eyes immediately looked for "Python". Didn't yours? Yes, I am a "GIS Developer" but I would expect a bit more granularity about what it is I am developing.
I fully agree with the sentiment in the posts. It is like they are trying to do something like stack overflow, but in doing so they have broken the old (working) system. I wish that they would at lest keep the old forum up for a time....
