ubuntu-phone team mailing list archive

"I think what OP wants is a more open arena to encourage users to 
engage. In my opinion, I think the launchpad archive lists are not very 
pretty to view or sort through. Nor are they easy to find in search 
engine results."

Yes, that is what I implicitly meant. I searched through 30+ pages (of 
this list) to see if anyone had previously attempted usb tethering for 
the Pro 5. I gave up after 30 or so click throughs.

That, as well as the askubuntu forum dilutes the focus, insofar as the 
Ubuntu phone is relegated to an obscure tag (not in the menu) and is not 
a website devoted specifically to Ubuntu phones (Nexus, BQ, Meizu).

Another benefit of a specialized forum is the ability to add (control) 
additional content, such as polls, calls for funding, etc.

The askubuntu link (provided earlier) is for Ubuntu Touch, which can and 
does mean many devices that are not officially supported, again diluting 
the focus (and in my opinion, results).

One of the keys to business success is focus -- very important for young 
businesses to do one thing and do it well to expedite market penetration 
(diversification can be done later, when there's sufficient cash-flow 
and funding to wear start-up costs).
