I imagine four sub-forums at the index page, in order:
- Announcements
- General discussion
- Installation of ZEVO
- Meta (about this forum)
Appropriate use of the Installation??sub-forumI recall less than a handful or topics that are
truly about installation (the process of using
Installer.app to install what's provided by GreenBytes).
The vast majority of topics in the Installation? area are more like,
general discussion of things that
precede or
follow a trouble-free installation. If movement will not break links, I'd like to see most such topics moved to General discussion.
(Defocusing from ZEVO: for any installable software product, it's customary for great attention to be given to any issue that prevents perfect installation; perfect installation is a prerequisite to
getting?started.)
PinningFirst thoughts, in no particular order:
Second thoughts: avoid pinning too many topics. I probably overlooked some important topics, but the list above might be too many so I stopped browsing.
Gut feeling: in a normal browser window, a maximum of five pinned topics.
Considering the constraints of the
http://zevo.getgreenbytes.com frame: a maximum of three.
Thanks/apologiessi-ghan-bi, thanks for the kind words ??from me to everyone, sorry for the noise! Too much me me for my liking. I hope that it never gives the impression of there being a monoculture. I'd love to more often see other people's names at the tops and tails of topics. I reckon that many users with far greater knowledge than me are using the product
quietly?with no immediate need to raise things in the forum.
For what it's worth, I sense that we're nearing the end of a period of
curation of the support forum, and a more natural
variety of names is emerging at the sub-forum levels?
