Since the journal plugin will break on 3.3, we are interested in (co?)-sponsoring further development of the plugin. And possibly add some customizations.
What would be the cost to make it 3.3 compatible + changing the comments from regular posts to the one used by post-voting plugin?
Are there any other journal plugin users that would be interested in chipping in?
I am surprised that not many forums are making use of it. In our community, the diary/log categories are the most active ones and users absolutely love to document their projects.
Also our B2B clients get a lot of value by sponsoring such diaries, especially when you create contest subcategory.
If you could give an overview of how you use it and some endorsement text I’ll post it on meta.discourse.org. There isn’t actually a topic for the plugin yet on meta, which may be why it’s not used much. That’ll also give you an avenue to connect with other users of the plugin to decide what needs to be in the next phase of development.
I’m keen to promote and extend this plugin. I’d need some kind of spec and budget for a phase 2. I’d be happy to help put that together, but I’ll need a clear indication from current users of the plugin (i.e. you guys) what your input enthusiasm is on that front.
I’m trying to convert a relatively high traffic subreddit into a discourse forum, and I’m bootstrapping all of this via my day job, so will be low budget until I can make it profitable. Happy to offer feedback or endorsements until then.
This extension is great, it covers a vital use case that most other platforms including nodebb don’t offer. It should be more popular!
Did it lead to more installs or even direct inquiries about the journal plugin? Maybe now time to list it in #plugins category on meta?
I am currently drafting a magical “wishlist” for the ultimate journal plugin update. Where would be the best place to share the draft with coop team and other journal plugin users?
