I am lazy. But of course there is, and has always been. The mailing list is archived here: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/pipermail/discussion/ For example, the mail that started this thread: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/pipermail/discussion/2014-November/010721.html And yes, I agree that the presentation could be friendlier. I'm not a great fan of blogs because they tend to over-linearize things and contribute to the scattering of information (i.e., before you know it, you have to follow a list, blog, Twitter, some forum, IRC, and Facebook just to keep track of what some project is doing.) But if someone wanted to process my posts into a nice timeline (and keep on maintaining this for a while), that would make a great feature for the Anelok site. For example, this is a draft I made a while ago (just text): http://pastebin.com/ZbQLSgc4 Each entry in the timeline could have a short title, a small picture, and then a link to the corresponding article (or other helpful material), which one can usually find right at that date in the archive. Another little documentation project would be to add hover pop-ups to the block diagrams (they first need updating, though), similar to what we've done for Neo900: http://neo900.org/stuff/block-diagrams/neo900/neo900.html The same mechanism could also be used to make the wireframe drawing on anelok.com a bit more interesting. The overall style I'd aim for is to have lots of things click- and hoverable, just like in real life you can touch and explore pretty much anything that you can see and that piques your curiosity. > It reminds me of Donald Rumsfeld's memorable phrase. > > http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unknown_unknown I actually like this one, though not quite in the way he used it. But the concept is something that's often overlooked - often enough, you first have to learn what the right questions are, before you can try to get them answered. - Werner _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
