<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Alright.<br><br></div>Carl - I think once we start adding content to this and use it, we don't want to have the possibility of everything being deleted. A lot of people are going to be spending time building this up. It would be disheartening since this is part of a support system. Links will be pointing to this in blogs. We will be referencing it in IRC and forums - in addition to any SEO benefits that would be lost in the trial months. We need to get a good long term solution in place and then roll with it. I think that will create more confidence and drive higher usage as well.<br><br></div>Rick - you seem to have a solution for this. Do you want to take a stab at making the fixes? With the direction we were going, we were wanting to have the search be filtered by category. Also, it would be nice to have a URL that would make the categories sticky. That way when you are on a product, it will stay on that project. This will make it easier for a project to link to the Q&A site and they know everything will be filtered by their project. If interested, you can probably put in a infrastructure support ticket to get access (<a href="https://sysadmin.kde.org/tickets/">https://sysadmin.kde.org/tickets/</a>). <br><br><br></div><div>For the styling, we will have to make it KDE styled since it will be for all projects. Making the design look like Krita branding would be confusing. <br></div>Scott<br><div><div><br><br><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 14, 2015 at 1:25 AM, Rick.Timmis <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Rick.Timmis@abazander.com" target="_blank">Rick.Timmis@abazander.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div style="font-size:100%">Sent from my Dragon 32</div></div><span class=""> <br>Carl Symons <<a href="mailto:carlsymons@gmail.com" target="_blank">carlsymons@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>On 05/13/2015 06:02 PM, Scott Petrovic wrote:<br>> I started configuring the Q&A site plugin.<br>><br>> <a href="https://answers.kde.org/" target="_blank">https://answers.kde.org/</a><br>><br>> You can search for questions or add your own.
