Re: Should we make this forum public?
If QT would have a Community Edition for XC I see no reason to make this forum public.
Else, XC is still a paid software. All who paid for it have unrestricted access. What kind of discussions we will have here if making it public to all, any improvement? It will be the same, those who don't have a license will come only to ask general things about XC as usual.
The only positive step forward I see for the moment is getting a feedback from potential users/developers of XC, those who are using XC demo version.
All popular open source/free shopping carts have public forums because these solutions are free. Like XC there are other paid shopping carts which offer access to their forums only if you buy a license. Nothing wrong in QT policy making this forum public only for a few sections, those for general questions.
Anyway I have to appreciate one thing. It is an good approach from QT asking in public XC Community for this.
It is just a personal opinion ...
