Questions.
I’ve pinned this topic, which had moved in the list, I think it should stick to the top now since I gave it an expiry date of “never”.
It might be nice to broaden that out a bit more with some categories for other community things - specifically it would be nice to have something like the show-and-tell topic we have on Discord.
Would be nice to have a friendly public place people can share what they are doing with Umbraco.
We did discuss this, but the lack of usage on Discord of that channel led to us thinking it’s probably not that important.
Specifically job ads was decided against as it attracts spammers (banned another one on Discord today ).
I am open to adding a “show off” category at some point, but for now I think it’s good to get people used to the forum doing 1 thing only, and not being ambiguous as to: “I don’t really know where to post this…”.
The other consideration was: if a topic can’t be “answered” (events, show & tell), it might not be a great thing for a forum. For now.
That said, I have seen Dicourse instances with a nice gallery overview for “show & tell” and a category where events get posted with a nice “add to calendar” link and everything. Kind of lusting after something like this for the future!
Yeh interesting lets wait & see how this evolves over time and what the needs are of the wider community.
