Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Newbee documentation

Collapse
Posted by xx xx on
One thread turns into a Bboard this way.

Torben, would it be an idea to use the FAQ approach in your new forum?
For example with a category 'FAQ' where only the maintainer has permission to 'create a New thread'.

A FAQ thread: might have a FAQ as Title and a Link to a FAQ-doc where the answer is explained (probably a copy of the official doc).
Newbees, Designers, Admins etc could ask their question and others can learn from the questions too.
The maintainer could update the FAQ-doc.
With a new OACS release the FAQ-doc could serve a purpose when adjusting the official docs.

'Add a comment' which is used in the official docs, doesn't give the same flexibility.

Do whatever you think is best, Torben. The approach has drawbacks too (threads can become long for example) and let's not start the same discussion we had before.
I suppose you're in contact with Don about the new forum and probably Roberto Mello should be consulted when (pre)maintaining the official docs would be involved.
