New entry in the board index?

Post by JPh »

For me something is missing in the board index.
If I want to talk about some functionality of rusefi which is not only software or hardware (generally functions are performed by both), I have no entry in the forum.
These topics may interest newcomers to know more about the product.
It's also a proof of user interest from the dev team.
The slack channel is good for discussion but the information will be soon lost.

What do you think about it?

What specific title is mission in your opinion?

I think that's why we have "misc" - for everything else. Also documentation and status clarity is an effort and we seem to often be missing it :(

Why not "Rusefi functionalities, existing and desirable"?.

The difference with documentation is that documentation discribes what exists.
Here the purpose is for newbies to read what has been discussed or ask if something exists, for members to make proposals and how to do it.

If you mix it in misc, people interested in the projet have to browse all sorts of subjects to find information. For choosing and ecu you must be able to compare easyly what exists, because there lots on the market.
If the entry exists, my first topic will be "sequential fuel without cam sensor".

We've tried many thing. So far this seems messy and complicated.

Forum is not the best place for documentation - documentation for existing functionality should not be on the forum - documentation should be a wiki, either MediaWiki or GitHub wiki. We have https://rusefi.com/wiki/ and https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/wiki

At the moment the best list of features is at https://rusefi.com/wiki/index.php?title=Manual:Current_Status/en but it probably should be moved to https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/wiki


Forum is not the best place to track requests and ideas - requests and ideas live at https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/issues

Forum is also not a chatting platform - if we want to brainstorm this further as a group the best place is https://app.slack.com/client/T4NJHQ8QZ/CF8NQ1RU6/details/members
