wiki, forums, lists

[#1]

i want a wiki for "how to" of specific jamf products. or a public repository of cleaver scripts. like our cs2 cleanup or dual boot imaging script.

best practices etc...

i like this list for discussions. there is a archive and search. search dosn't work and that needs to be fixed.

forums are nice but then please shut down the list. because dilution of communication is exactly what we DON'T need.

Agreed. Either list, or forum. That's was my main concern, otherwise I would have fired up a forum already.

I vote for the forum.

We can vote? Cool! =)

I've already shut down a discussion forum because they never get the traffic, and switched to a list serv. Email works because it comes to you, in that most people always check their mail. You don't have to make the decision to go to a website and look at it. I know that may sound strange, but it makes a big difference.

The list serves a good purpose, to bounce ideas and ask for help. But I also think a repository of useful information such as a WIKI is also beneficial if done well.

I'd say keep the list for discussion, and look at a WIKI for the information (tips, scripts, etc.) repository. Forums would not be a good replacement for either in my opinion.

I absolutely agree with Craig,

I never get around to looking at forums unless I'm absolutely desperate - I'd much rather just keep the list.
No harm in having a wiki as well...

What about a forum with RSS feed, that way you can track it along with your
other blogs, feeds etc in your reader? I like forums more than lists, but
peeps are right that mail comes too you and requires less effort.

I vote forum with RSS
