26.2 Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 I disagree. I have tried several searches that produced so many false positives I was overwhelmed. When you get 1200 possibles you tend to give up. The real solution is to take the MS1 and develop a deep FAQ structure. Right now the FAQ listings are weak. If you have the time you can help by going through the more popular listings and create a FAQ page that has some meat. What do you think? aj "Of the things we think, say or do: Is it the TRUTH? Is it FAIR to all concerned? Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burt Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 I disagree. I have tried several searches that produced so many false positives I was overwhelmed. When you get 1200 possibles you tend to give up.Do you? I refine my search and try again, and again etc. 95% of the time you'll find what you are looking for. If I can't find what I'm after I'll try to solve the problem myself, and then if I can't I'll post on the Forum for help... If you have the time you can help by going through the more popular listings and create a FAQ page that has some meat. What do you think? The FAQ needs a lotta stuff adding to it, without a doubt. A good idea would be for the Core Team to allow user input to the FAQ, even if its something like: Q: What does "headers already sent mean" A: Link <here>, <here> and <here>. Go and read them. And so on. Then when someone found the answer to their problem, it would take an extra minute to add it to the FAQ. Make a sticky post in each forum with the FAQ URL and job done. But 99% of the registered users in the Forum wouldn't bother spending one minute to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26.2 Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 A good FAQs section would be much more friendly than RTFM or that has been answered already do a search... If the FAQ section isn't a priority for the dev team then why doesn't someone with the knowledge and skill set make their own and post it as a contrib? Just a thought. aj "Of the things we think, say or do: Is it the TRUTH? Is it FAIR to all concerned? Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?"
