Hi<br>I was going to say some of the things said here about the websites.<br>In short :<br>- compared to the TTD webpage, there's no apparent news/blog category and it would be nice to have one. Should we setup a wordpress thing or another CMS and integrate back the website contents into wordpress pages?<br>
- some sections on the webpage are empty<br>
- it would be nice to have the wiki & webpage well integrated together as you Drew Noakes have started proposing.<br>- there could be some pages where people say that they use KTechLab ("Success stories" and just normal "I'm using it" comments), for doing what and in which country. So this would show that : the program is in use and useful and that people are interested in it. There's some text related this idea here : <a href="http://www.ktechlab.org/wiki/index.php?title=Index:Misc" target="_blank">http://www.ktechlab.org/wiki/index.php?title=Index:Misc</a> . But it would be nice to have much more details on how ktechlab is used.<br>
- the forum idea would be nice for people wanting to fiddling something in electronics and having help with : electronics question & software use questions. On artistic forums, there's a use to Work in Progress(WIP) threads where people show their work step by step and ask for critics, there could be a same thing in ktechlab forums(I'm argumenting on this forum idea Jason Lucas said) for work in progress circuits. When people have done some circuits, people in the admin team could push them into posting something on <a href="http://www.ktechlab.org/wiki/index.php?title=Index:Circuits" target="_blank">http://www.ktechlab.org/wiki/index.php?title=Index:Circuits</a><br>
- there's a bugtracker on the sourceforge page with bugs that are not solved yet. It would be nice to have a link to this tracker from the website.<br><br>jonathan schroder<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 22, 2008 at 2:36 PM, Drew Noakes <<a href="mailto:drewnoakes@yahoo.com.au" target="_blank">drewnoakes@yahoo.com.au</a>> wrote:<br>

<div>Firstly, as a quiet observer of this list I'd like to share my concern for the future of this project in the hope of increasing the apparent size of the list's readership. I don't know how many people are on this list, but I suspect there are quite a few others in the same situation as me.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>OSS is inherently globally distributed which offers a fantastic opportunity for talented people with similar interests to collaborate. At the same time it could be very beneficial for the project if collaborators were actually able to meet in person. We are social animals and in my professional experience with off-shore offices and outsourcing, the productivity of the distributed working relationship is greatly improved once the people involve meet face-to-face. Depending upon where contributors are located, regional meet ups might be possible. Perhaps we could enhance the wiki area for this...</div>

<div>Anyway, to the real purpose of this email.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I visited <a href="http://ktechlab.org" target="_blank">ktechlab.org</a> just now and noticed that the "Get Involved" and "About" links point to pages with the text: TODO</div>
<div> </div>
<div><font color="#0000ff"><a href="http://www.ktechlab.org/about.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.ktechlab.org/about.htm</a></font></div>
<div><a href="http://www.ktechlab.org/involved.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.ktechlab.org/involved.htm</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Holding pages like these make the project look immature and abandoned which is not the image I'd like to see accompany such a promising project, especially at such a critical time.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Let's make the "About" page point to: <font color="#0000ff"><a href="http://www.ktechlab.org/wiki/index.php?title=KTechLab" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.ktechlab.org/</a></font>wiki/index.php?title=KTechLab</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For the "Get Involved!" page I created a new wiki page: <a href="http://www.ktechlab.org/wiki/index.php?title=Get_Involved" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><font color="#0000ff"><a href="http://www.ktechlab.org/wiki/index.php?title=Get_Involved" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.ktechlab.org/wiki/index.php?title=Get_Involve</a></font>d ...please review this page and add any additions/modifications as you see fit. I placed a slightly-out-of-place link to it on the front page.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Let's do everything we can to encourage potential new contributors to join this project.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Long Live KTechLab!</div>
