Starting Organizing Categories

  • To start a category - in Admin, click on Categories - and upper right hamburger is Add Category. [1]
  • Staring subcategories - upon creation, you can select it to nest under.

Wiki Integration

  • Discourse should work closely with wiki.
  • Discourse threads for different machines are embedded on wiki.

Search

  • Search feature appears to be robust. You can search any topics by keywords, which integrates well with OSE infrastructure such as wiki.
  • Taxonomy for versioning should be followed. Thus - machine name - 3D Printer v20.04 should be equally searchable on wiki and on forums.

Images

  • Image upload should be turned off for memory management purposes.
  • Images are uploaded to the wiki.

Badges

  • Create custom badges for people familiar with design. Create Design Guides and Test for each design - so that we qualify able designers who use the OSE design principles. [2]
  • Discourse can serve as a go-to place for certifying skills, and thus becomes a priceless source of transparent development talent. If we teach people high quality skills, then the OSE Community (Forum) becomes a critical part of OSE development infrastructure. By making skill sets transparent, we create star talent, and external audiences, ideally, start to recognize the OSE Community as a formidable source of development talent.
