Hi Jeremy
First of all, I did not intent to cast doubts upon the intend of the group
when I asked why are we averse to the idea of community documentation, was
merely pointing out inability to deliver an easy system.
2 points.
1. The platform of choice pending to be agreed upon, how about the
suggestion to ask the users to update their posts with a summary of their
answers?As I said already in a previous post, here is how I see it.
1. Pin to the top of the group, at least for some time, a set of
formatting and styling instructions.
2. When a user asks a question and he gets an answer, he should simply
edit his question and add the answer according to the format.
This workflow provides some advantages. One is the obvious delegation
of work. Whoever is collecting documentation wherever he wishes to, won't
it be easier if he can simply copy and paste these rather than writing it
up himself?
I understand the documentation macros and all, but community
documentation can be held to a different, simpler standards, right? Users
who asks questions and are able to follow instructions to resolve it, can
obviously write that up too. The only hurdle is it should be a binding
agreement in the community.
2. If you are strongly considering DISCOURSE, I would like to propose
reddit as a contender. Here is my points to consider reddit
1. It provides a forum free of cost.
2. Creating an account is just a matter of creating a username and
password. If you do not plan to amass reddit points, you can have a
different reddit account literally everytime you log in.
3. It has an inbuilt Wiki too. As a matter of fact we are collecting a
comprehensive list of plugins for TW5 in reddit wiki here
https://www.reddit.com/r/TiddlyWiki5/wiki/pluginsandresources. Currently
it has more than 200 plugins listed.
4. You can opt-in for other options too, like email notifications.
5. Provisions for Automoderation. You can set it to automatically tag
posts based on keywords, create weekly posts and stick it to the top of
thread etc. This would help with organizing the posts at a later point as
you can list posts based on tags.
6. Last but not least, a casual internet user is much more likely to
come across TiddlyWiki in reddit over Discourse or google groups. Reddit
promotes its active and upcoming subreddits. Reddit userbase spans far and
wide.
