I do agree that sometimes it would be good to be able to filter out all "My system doesn't work" posts and just see the various announcement threads from Logitech, third party developers and from the hardware and DIY forum.
If there are more people feeling this is a good idea, we could probably create something together where multiple experienced community members helps to post news and articles. Anyone interested in contributing ? I personally think that something that's very important to make this work is to do it as a community and not base it on that a single individual should do all the work. Still, I'm a little bit skeptical regarding activities which draws people away from this forum as the strength of this forum really is all the experienced people hanging around and helping other users. manatlan;652946 Wrote: > > Perhaps a "big big fan" posts news about sb's world on its personnal > website ? > Actually there is, FredFredrickson did exactly this some time ago: http://sb.cnhpa.com/ The problem is just that it won't work when one person do it because then the news are written with the perspective of a single person instead of the community as a whole. Logitech can't do it because except from the few Logitech developers still here, Logitech have lost all interest in this community, the main reason this forum and wiki still exists is because of the Logitech developers hanging around. -- erland Erland Isaksson ('My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info)) (Developer of 'many plugins/applets' (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/User:Erland).
