Hi Kolusu,

I m not sure whether this website has the feature to provide knowledge nuggets thru a daily dose of tips.

Could you have such a feature implemented on this website to display a "tip for the day" everyday, or a subscription area for interested members who can subscribe to receive such daily emails from this website.

This would help in sharing the knowledge in a better manner.

Regards,
Chandan

chandanm,

Right now we don't have any method of generating tips. I don't want to start something which would die out within a few days.

Doing it on a day to day basis needs a dedicated person. As for me I cannot spend that much time on it as my hands are full.

Sorry !

Kolusu,

This is just a suggestion.
Why can't we have a separate forum for tips.
If we have such forum, users can post the tips in that forum itself.

I've always liked repositories of tips and odd facts. But they tend to fall apart quickly. Someone always responds to a post with a question, which sparks a discussion and the whole thing becomes just another chatty post.

On the other hand, I'd like to see a technical FAQ. There is a FAQ link that comes with the BBS software, but that is just a BBS FAQ.

I'd like to see a 'sticky' FAQ and a Topic related Tips thread in each category. Similar to the original FAQ idea (http://www.mvsforums.com/helpboards/viewtopic.php?p=9572#9572).

A couple of people in each category with edit authority should be able to maintain them. Simple format - no discussion. I'd be happy to write/maintain the both the "TSO and ISPF" FAQ and Tips. If I create one or both, can we make it (them) sticky?

semigeezer,

Thanks for bringing up the FAQ idea which was supposed to be implemented long time ago.

I can create a forum for such questions, do we need sub categories also , or just one single forum ?

Ex: If you look at the GENERAL forum , We have 2 sub forums 1. Tools and Downloads 2. IT news
