Clive,

her are my answers, please understand that I don't understand wiki's,

so I am open to suggestions.

In general I would like to see sections for LibreCAD MASTER and current

active branch (master currently, 2.0.0) from this will will generate

manuals PDF, website manual and inline librecad manual.

This should be high quality content. A true manual...

We can for sure have a tips and tricks sections and other sections.

But mostly i would like the wiki seen beeing used as a manual.

Ries/ everyone.

I think we need the following "sub-forums" for this forum.

1.General Announcements.

This would go into the blog/website… I don't think it should be in a wiki

2.Chat section -talk about whatever!

Under "User"

Isn't it why there is a forum?

3.Tips & Tricks.

I agreed

4.Need Help? problems & Solutions - look here first to see if it has been addressed!

What sort of problems and solutions? I was thinking the forum should be

suitable for this because then users can respond to eachother.

5.Bug reporting - add link to Sourceforge.

May be have on the left hand menu some quick links?

We need to prevent that people add bug reports to a wiki.

If I see that happening, I will delete them...

6.Feature requests - add link to sourceforge.

See item 5. We should have a link in the left menu.

So people won't add feature requests in a wiki.

7. User Gallery (great for inspiration for new/old users).

I am a bit so… so.. on it, I don't see why we should have this,

people can show of there works in a forum or on there own website.

These personal pages can quickly get outdated and show the incorrect

state of LibreCAD.

8. User Library -people can submit blocks etc.. e.g. symbols, drawing templates etc...

I like this… But how can we make sure people won't upload porn, nonsense and use it as a

general file sharing tool? How can we ensure the uploaded content has the right license

so peopel won't upload all symbols they find in a other CAD package?

*I think the option to be able to reply to a topic in Nabble without having to quote the whole of the last message!

I use my mail client :) Seems to work fine….

May be one or two extra "User" forum moderators (yes I may be interested Ries ).

What sort of rights do you need? I haven't looked in Nabble for a while, but I am sure I can set somebody

as moderator :)
