<pre wrap="">My 10 cents is regards the old site - and what I think we shouldn't do
for the new one.
IIRC, there seemed to be some sort of webserver url re-writing or
embedded frames etc - so you *could* find a flossmanuals.net/about
page, but the URL was flossmanuals.net. This made it _hard_ to direct
people to an "about" page.
This should not be repeated - it's bad for google, it's bad for
directing ppl to the site, it's bad for the quick and nasty "about us"

<pre wrap="">Hey Adam,
my vote goes in for osqa, it looks pretty useful, and easy.
The only thing I didn't like was the points and badges feature. I just
want to answer peoples questions and help solve their problems. Where as I
see the reward system as a distraction to helping people.
any way that was my 10 cents.

<pre wrap="">one problem i have with both the blog (<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://blog.booki.cc/">http://blog.booki.cc/</a>) & the
booki site (<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.booki.cc/">http://www.booki.cc/</a>) is that it isn't easy to find
background information - who, why, how etc (i've been looking for this
recently in the course of trying to put together the ars electronica
submission, but more about that in a separate email). apart from 4
sentences on the home page, the site only gives long lists of groups,
books & people; the blog has heaps of great information & tutorials for
when you are actually working with booki; but on neither is it easy to
find any contextualising background info. i guess that will come.
i think you're right that joining this list shouldn't be the recommended
way to get general booki support. would it be possible to have a support
email address? or there aren't resources to manage that?

<pre wrap="">Hi, good idea John!
I think the way the Booki blog is designed is good, displaying the text
and images clearly.
I think the Identica, Slashdot and RSS buttons are unecessary, and
reader comments could be added here instead.
At <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://blog.booki.cc/">http://blog.booki.cc/</a> the posts succeed each other chronologically,
so perhaps a button link 'show comments', rather than comments beneath
each post in the long format.
cheers, Martin

Subject: [FM Discuss] best way for booki users to get support
I've just finished writing a Tutorial for the booki blog and at the
bottom of the post I want to add a sentence telling readers where to
go if the need help or have questions regarding Booki.
I know we had some discussion a month or two ago regarding the
addition of some sort of forum for these sorts of question, but in
the meantime for those who have questions where would be the best
place to point them?
The only two options I could think of would be either joining the FM
discuss list or adding a comment to the post. Asking someone to join
the FM list and then post a question could be confusing to someone
who is using Booki for something completely unrelated to Floss
Manuals so I'm leaning towards adding a comment to the blog as the
method to ask questions.
Before I add this to the tutorial and publish it does anyone have any
other ideas for the best way of people to ask Booki questions?
Cheers,
John
