Knowledge Management
Originally posted by Uncle Michael View PostIMO the critical piece that is missing for HomeSeer is a resource to "own" the information source, whether it be a WIKI or a curated message board. . .or something else. Without someone accountable, the job is left for "someone else" to do.
The accountable person could even be a volunteer, but without that key resource I'm pretty sure what we have now is what we will have in the future - only with even more outdated and even misleading posts overwhelming key insights that simply get lost in the heap.
Knowledge management should be a paid position at a technology company.

Sweeeet!!!
Finally someone has said something about this!
The problem starts with the "HomeSeer General Discussion Forum". Why? Because it's where everyone goes to try and solve whatever problem they have. How many posts do see are sticky? Only one! I'm not saying there should any more but it was set up the wrong way! How? It's should be just a forums redirector in that it lists all technologies in groups in which they relate to and not to post anything there but redirect to the right forum!
If one says am wrong the take look at this : https://forums.homeseer.com/index.php
If it's your first time here you are quickly thrown to the first link you see on the page. And then you go on meandering to who knows where! It's just like searching Google, the user is drawn to the first few links on top and you quickly forget what you were looking for! Advertisers pay good money for those spots just to make you confused!.
But here it's not about the advertising but the format the way forums moderator created his work.
Now one can ask my reasoning on this but I can assure you that I have been in a situation where a user was mad at a plugin author for the luck help there was and I had to jump in to defend the author. Why? Not that I'm very knowledgeable but that I love to help. Because people spend a lot of time and money on things they think they can easily solve but soon find themselves in a pickle!
So what I did is to ask the plugin author to make some of the posts which had been discussed before sticky and no one gives him headaches anymore!

To be simply put all discussions should be on their respective forums and thus reduce confusion and posts being buried deep down where they shouldn't be.

Thank you Colin. Will do.
One thing that I would like to see relating to authoring plugins is how to make a windows HS3 plugin work in Linux.
Many folks now are switching to Linux and want to utilize the same plugins from Windows to Linux.
I got the beginning pieces of this document but it would required some plugin authors input for some basics.- Pete
