116454 - (printing_newsgroup) RFE: Create newsgroup for printing

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Roland Mainz]

RFE: Please create a newsgroup for printing people (like
netscape.public.mozilla.printing).

We may want to discuss issues which do not fit well into the other newsgroups on
news.mozilla.org (like device- or platform-specific issues, print dialog stuff,
print preview problems etc. etc., printing of SVG (which is mainly a "we do not
have an alpha channel on printer devices"-issue...) and much more ...) ...

Mass changing IC's ticket to reflect current situation.

mozilla.org, AOL employees:

If you want IC to look at issues reported in bugzilla, please open a Helpdesk
ticket and ask it to be routed to AOL R1 Server Operations. We currently have no
way to handle comprehensive problem resolution through bugzilla. This is not a
change in the way we are supporting mozilla.org - we are still supporting you on
the level as before. IC's support is based on Helpdesk ticket system - not
bugzilla which only few hard-core people are looking at. 

Also, projects are handled elsewhere - not in bugzilla. If you have projects you
need us to deliver please feel free to contact me directly.

Summa summarum: tickets -> Helpdesk
Project initiations -> [e-mail]

IMO this is unnecessary.  We discuss all sorts of stuff in layout and general
anyway, and there is not enough of a community to support a single newsgroup
just for printing.  So far I count you, me, rods, dcone and karnaze.  The latter
three don't work on it anymore, so that just leaves you and me.  And I don't
typically read the newsgroups, so it's just you.

Sounds like there's nowhere near enough traffic to justify a new group.  Reopen
if you have evidence that that's not the case.
