What I'd like to see happen is this:
- Make the project module automatically maintain a system vocabulary called 'project' where each project name corresponds with a 'term'. Then allow people to categorize forum topics using the project vocabulary.
- Extend the project pages with a link: 'show all forum topics about $project'.
This would provide a mechanism to categorize content per project, and to filter the forum topics by project.
Sounds like a good idea. Ideally, we would remove all the 'support' forum areas, and we would instruct users to submit all support requests as issues. But that, of course, is completely unrealistic: people are always going to post support requests in the forums. So the best solution is to allow us to easily find support forum topics related to particular modules. Perhaps we could even use views to show a page that lists all the support issues and all the support forum topics for a particular module, together on one page? Or maybe we don't even need views for this - I guess we could just do it using taxonomy (but views would be better - e.g. for sorting by date, for showing last updated date, etc). Cheers, Jaza..
