Re: Feedback on New Curl Developer Center

Hi

 

Its good to know that this forum going for upgrade.

 

1. I think this forum should have close to phpBB/vBulletin features set

2. User should have option to add a restricted size attachment to their reply

3. And the tags like, Level1, Level2, Black Belt, etc .... should not depend upon the no of replies to forum, it should be the points earned by giving suitable answer to queries.

4. Somehow I feel the server response is slow as compared to other sites that I used to browse

5. Should have more really showcase apps, which stands ahead of Flex or other technologies. in other words apps which can be better done by Curl not by other technologies (I'm still looking for such apps )

 

Thank you.

Richard

 

 

I came into the Dev Comm via a search engine link so missed your post - and so my post on URL issues.  Would have given this a few days to sort itself out otherwise.

 

Now to return to the embrace of Eclipse ...

Re: Feedback on New Curl Developer Center

ClearSpace remains badly broken under only one of my browsers: Prism (Mozilla WebRunner) under Ubuntu (Asus EeePC EeeBuntu)

 

Dev Menus start as fully-expanded along the left (LEFT !) margin and are translucent and unusable

 

I test SSB code under many browsers both XP and linux so I will try to remember to check our pages when I am able

 

I have no Mac available at the moment

Still unable to create a new project: no parent project in the list is selectable, but a parent is a required field.

Re: Feedback on New Curl Developer Center

Just some quick thoughts.

 

First and foremost -

Its a fact that we are having a lot of developer counterparts in Japan.

 

They too will surely be using some developer forum of their own. Why don't we bring them here? Give the option for developers to ask questions in japanese! And in the meanwhile hire a translator (or by some other mechanism) give an option to translate that to english so that more ideas flow while they use curl.com's facilities. At present japanese curl is like a separate entity.

 

Next - this has been suggested by one of the members earlier.

Some chat widget like meebo or any other so that online developers can chat if possible [but make sure that each chat is documented for the public to view otherwise people tend to use chat more than the forum and many important points might get undocumented]

Re: Feedback on New Curl Developer Center

Exactly...I second your suggestion.

Separating develpers across regions, we only are weakening the dev community

Re: Feedback on New Curl Developer Center

I was hoping the Dev Cntr might have a "project" now ...

 

... but in "Projects", the SEARCH action is giving me a fatal system error

 

Btw, could we create a "SemWeb Interest Group" when we are able to add groups?

 

Thanks
