Split the Community category

Ehi guys,
we have a lot of generic discussions about NethServer in the Community category which main topics are: Discussion about this community, its organization, how it works, and how we can improve it.

Let me show some examples:

And a lot of comparisons!

I’d like to split them into a new category
Do you have any suggestion about the name?

Just a longshot:
split them in

  • community help
  • community organization

Or something in that direction.

testimonials, or user-stories perhaps.

I like user-stories :heart_eyes:

I think it is important to split the technical stuff from the chit-chat (don’t get me wrong, chit-chat is at least as important as technical stuff!)

“User stories” goes in the right direction but it can be confused with the “user story” of Agile that is a method to collect requirements in software engineering.

Do you like experience?

Or practice

I think the link to agile is a good one (and intended) … it will attract managers and heads of IT, and convince them they landed on the right spot. They will expect to read how a sysadmin benefitted from Nethserver based on that name, and based on the few links provided, that is what they will get :slight_smile:

Edit: User experience would work as well I guess, it points at the same direction but wont echo as well :stuck_out_tongue:

Edit2: If you want to avoid mixing terms and confusing people, perhaps ‘How I did it…’ would cover the same meaning.

Again, it’s used in the context of UI engineering and can be misleading.

User story: should I apply this category in a new feature request?

User experience: should apply this category to ask UI enhancements?

Yeah, should’ve known … you programmers always find 1001 exceptions to my common scenario’s … and usually you lot are right. I think you are completely right and retract the first two suggestions. The last might pass your test, but I’m not sure how well it would work …

So, forget what I wrote … my entry will be: “How I did it…”

(I work at a software company … the lead programmer kept telling me to check the basics the first year or so :stuck_out_tongue: … now, he regularly shoots holes in otherwise good plans … till you ask him to find a way to screw it over, and he readilly will every time :slight_smile: )

“Testimonals” is a good one: comparisons, migrations, praise fit all this category

@alefattorini I thought about the links you posted and tried to find out which themes we want to catch.
I think we discuss general things about nethserver. So we could have a category for general discussion about community and a category for general discussion about the product (nethserver).

What do you think about changing the header “community” to “general discussion” with two subitems “community” and “nethserver”

I think this is to special

For me it sounds good, but I can understand @davidep’s argument

That’s a good alternative indeed, on the other hand it would force me to change us things on the category structure. Be aware that Community has already a sub-category called “Welcome” for the welcoming posts

If we change it this way “Welcome” should be at the same level like “Community” and “Nethserver”

Excuse me, don’t want to make you much more work.

I tried with testimonials with a tag called comparisons :slight_smile:
Other alternatives may be: use cases, scenarios

I don’t like generic or general, it’s tooo generic :slight_smile:

Edit: just moved some discussions
