Hi Andy.<br>
<br>
I will try to help out a bit here.<br>
Will you start a wiki page, that I can append to?<br>
<br>
For starters I think we need at least a wiki page<br>
with the posting guidelines suggested by Dave,<br>
and this extra bullet:<br>
<br>
* Include any relevant messages from the error log in the request.<br>
<br>

<pre wrap=""> I agree that moderating messages would get old real quick. It's just the
only sure way we can filter the messages. But, it's an extreme reaction and
establishing some obvious "getting started" resources is probably the best
first step.
I didn't get any volunteers that wanted to help with this. For those of you
who have been on this list for awhile, it would be a great help if you could
email me a summary of all of the MGOS resources and sites that you use and
have Bookmarked. I want to create a master index page for these resources or
possibly work on moving the resources over to the MGOS project site.
Thanks,
Andy

I just want to say that I've been known to be wrong before...

I would be in favor of a better FAQ on the website and a link to it sent
out monthly to it... The best practices doc from Autodesk a year or so
ago should also be updated with new tips and tricks (hint ADESK)

Maybe we could have a wiki page with posting guidelines including links to
places to research and suggested research techniques. And, most
importantly, have every message go through an administrator. If the
administrator feels the message meets the guidelines, then the message
gets posted. Otherwise, they get a rejection message pointing them to the
posting guidelines. I realize this ads significant overhead, but if we
had several of us volunteering to do admin duties, it might be doable.
Any thoughts?

Why have people just suddenly given up and begun posting: "Thing broken?
Help".
I'm not directing this at anyone in particular... I'm just pointing out we
probably need some posting guidelines here as this is getting a bit
ridiculous.
1) If you have a question, don't just ask - research it first on
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.nabble.com">http://www.nabble.com</a> search and include MapGuide. At least 40% of the
questions asked here have been asked before.
2) When you post a question about an error - always include the error!
3) Include your OS, Web Server, which API you are using if applicable
4) Be specific about the type of data involved and which provider you are
using
I'm trying to keep this list short so that it's not hard work.
Anyone else have any suggestions or want to improve the points I suggested
above?
I'm tempted to suggest modifying the signature response of these emails to
include 1 or 2 more URL's to the main MapGuide info sites so that people
know where to look for things.
