I have a few concerns. First is that with the RBUtil section. we're just
splitting up install questions further. Much like we have "Repairing
Broken Players" as a subcategory to Hardware, maybe we should should
have "RBUtil" and "Manual Installation" being the only two categories
under Installation/Removal, with "Manual Installation" not being a
single forum, but rather containing the normal existing subforums. That
way no player-specific names are immediately seen on the front page
(maybe reducing non-install questions in these sections, too).
For "Rockbox Helper Software", do we really want a board for each one?
And what's the criteria for adding them. For example, WinFF does have
Rockbox presets. But (if I understand correctly) the extent of
QTScrobbler's support of Rockbox is that we output the standards-correct
logfile, and it updates it. So while Rockbox is currently the only thing
you'd really use it with, it's not Rockbox specific at all, just
standard specific to one we're the only real user of so far? (I may
misunderstand, but if that's not how QTScrobbler works, imagine another
program that fits a similar situation, I guess).
Basically, do we obligate ourselves to add a board for every utility
someone might choose to use with Rockbox, or every one that someone
*does* write for Rockbox, or simply the ones we feel are good enough to
endorse?
Maybe it could be split into boards like "Video Converters" "Theme
tools" "Library Tools" and similar, rather than highlighting specific
applications?
