Cartaro needs some minimal community infrastructure - currently there is zero community besides the drupal issues, what is not enough. Yes, we can hire you for support, if we decide to go that way - however we will never decide at all to use a project that has not even a mailing list, so you are hurting yourself here.

To fix that problem I quickly created a mailing list at the free librelist.com service - please subscribe to:
cartaro@librelist.com

You might publish this mailing list address on the cartaro.org website so this will be a frist step to build some kind of community around cartaro.

Also please take a look at

Thanks for your attention!

Hi COLABORATI,

as a Drupal distribution which uses the Drupal ecosystem, we think the Drupal issue tracker is a good place to ask questions and give support. Creating an official mailing list would add a second channel and would maybe lead to scattered information. Do you a mailing list would have advantages compared to the Drupal issue tracker?

Best regards,

Yes, there is a BIG difference. A mailing list is for communication and an issue tracker is for structuring coding tasks. I wonder how one can even ask such a question - yes, of course you need both if you want your project to grow. Did you even read the link I posted?

BTW this drupal issue tracker is very primitive, if you can not setup gitlab or anything similar on your company servers (why not?), then I recommend using github to get a sane issue tracker.

Just take a look at the more successful open source projects - and just use the same tools.

Cartaro looks interesting, but if you are actively preventing a community to grow around it, this will go nowhere.
