Dear FlexRadio Systems Reflector subscribers, Starting today, July 10, 2009, we begin the transition from a single Reflector to two reflectors as previously discussed in this venue. We have decided to implement a two reflector system where discussion related to experimentation with alpha or beta software/hardware configurations will be posted to the new FlexEdge Experimental Reflector and all other topics regarding the operation of released versions of software on supported hardware platforms will continue to be posted to this FlexRadio User Reflector. We feel this is a necessary adjustment since the user base for FlexRadio Systems products is expanding and changing. After a lot of thought and feedback from our customers, we believe that this change is in the best interest for you the user as well as for FlexRadio Systems to continue its growth and success. I know several of you are wondering how all of this will work. If you are interested in testing new alpha and beta software, using FlexRadio Systems products on unsupported hardware configurations and participating in highly technical discussions regarding the internal workings of the software and programming, then you will need to subscribe to the FlexEdge Experimental Reflector. The subscription process is identical to the one you used when signed up for this Reflector, but because the two reflectors are independent, you will need to create a new account on the FlexEdge Reflector in order to receive and post topics to it. You do that by using the following URL:
http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexedge_flex-radio.biz The next question on everybodys mind is how do I determine what topics belong on which reflector. There are some simple descriptions on how each reflector should be used and examples of topics associated with the appropriate reflector. This information can be found on our web site under the Support Menu for Reflectors (http://www.flex-radio.com/Support.aspx?topic=Reflector_Description). Obviously, there are no specific hard and fast "rules" for what topics are and are not best suited for a particular reflector. If you inadvertently post a topic on a particular reflector that should not be there based on the above guidelines, there is no need to worry. It is not a punishable offense. What will happen is that a reflector moderator may send a reply to the list indicating why your post should have been directed to the other reflector. This is solely for education purposes so you and other Flexers will gain a better feel for what is and is not appropriate on the different reflectors. We also took this time to review our Reflector Rules and Guidelines. We did not make any significant changes to these, but we did clarify a few policies that had always been in place, but were not well documented. Most of these guidelines are standard practices for any e-mail based mailing list good netiquette if you will. We have added these to our web site for convenient access and they can be found here: http://www.flex-radio.com/Support.aspx?topic=Reflector_Guidelines As we transition to the experimentalist and user centric reflectors, we ask for your patience and understanding as it can be frustrating anytime change is implemented. Our list moderators will help make the transition quick and easy.
