Re: NeXT GNU Homage Project Work

[Ivan Vučica]

Two cents on "right tool for the job"...

LinkedIn is a job board more than a social network, with a pinch of career-related news thrown in. One should not expect to find "friends" on it. Colleagues and recruiters, yes. Friends, there are other places that do that better.

I assume by Google Community you mean Google+ Communities. I don't think that UI is good for discussions and planning. Sharing and commenting on news, yes. Planning, no.

And if Groups are being phased out, that would be news to a lot of people.

I’m not very social network savvy, so I don’t really know.
My son was very derisive about LinkedIn … but perhaps because he doesn’t know anyone who uses it.
There seem to be a lot of competing products, and I don’t know what’s best.
I started a GNUstep Google Community, becuse I read that communities has superceded groups, and Google groups are bign phased out.
However, since you mention Google Groups, I wonder if Communities realy are replaeing them?

I rather like the "Don’t be Evil” ethos …  which makes me want to chose something from Google rather than anyone else, but I relise that’s a pretty tenuous reason.
