I know there was some issue with the mail to forum gateway for the general section last week so if anybody tried to answer via mail previously it might not have reached the forum.
It looks like we will be able to solve the hosting costs through a community member, so I'm mainly interested to know if there are people who would be willing to help keeping the information on the wiki updated. If we are only 2-3 persons in the community that's interested to help updating the information I'm skeptical if it's worth the effort. Also, as I mentioned in the initial post, to make it interesting on longer terms I also think we need to have a broader scope of a community wiki so we can use it also for other music streaming hardware/software and not just for Logitech equipment, especially since Squeezebox hardware is eventually going to disappear or and most of us are less interested in the new UE Smart Radio devices. Anyway, please let me know if you are interested to help keeping the information updated if we would create a new community managed wiki site. Finally, please only say that you are interested if you really are, I don't want to end up in a situation where we spend time and effort to setup a wiki site and later have to maintain the information all by myself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97718 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
