5. The available how to’s are generally at the back of sections or mixed. To find them you either search or check though all posts within a section you think applies. Could a (how to) sticky be be included at the beginning of section to include content or links of the how to’s within that section?
We can do that, but someone has to maintain the sticky. If it's a shared maintenance, then the sticky will grow into several pages. I know a lot of people will not want to read through pages of links.
There could be an FAQ, which is easier to maintain, but having links to specific threads will be a nightmare.
There are also instructional posts not labeled “how to” that could be and included. Maybe over time data can also be imported from the YahooSprinterVan site
I think a lot of people (especially HKPierce) have already tried that. The formats are so different that categorizing some of the YahooSprinterVan posts have become a problem.
We have the Sprinter-Wiki which can be formatted (right now it mirrors the forum and I've found that that may not be the best format) to accept different sources, but again it's a maintenance issue. The current Wiki format will have to change in order to easily upload information from different sources.
I'd like to get some more people's input on the categories, before making the move.
Anyone?
