 basically a site that we can design and define how we need it to be,



 Not so much a discussion group or blog or posts, but more a resource center more like a wiki or repository for knowledge.

 I like the idea, but overall I'm going to have to say I don't necessarily think it will work well. I'd like to be proven wrong.

I like the fact that the way the list comes to me and makes me take notice when I get an email. I help run a list serve and website for another organization and we eliminated the web forum because there was no traffic to it. Running multiple tools can sometimes work against each other. For JAMF it's one more thing they have to manage and oversee. Unless you are subscribed to each section to receive a notification of all new posts when someone posts something new you won't know it until you actually force yourself to go to the site. Normally people will only go to the site when they have a problem.

It is a bit of a pain to try and look through old messages on the list for scripts or content, but if you can't find it I'd be lazy and ask the list again. =)

Like I said, I like the idea and I understand it's appeal, but in practice I haven't found having both to work well.

Besides, I'm not sure how often Miles will be able to help us out now with his new gig. Right Miles?!

 Sounds like a fantastic idea.  I'd love a place I could go search for things.. especially since my weakness is scripts.

 Is anyone interested in a web knowledge base / forum / repository, or what ever you wanna call it for us?











 This list is great for communication and support for the Casper community and im not suggesting we change it or stop using it, but would anyone be interested in a website where we can post scripts, best practice documents and be a general store of knowledge.











 Personally i think it would be great to have a site where we can place scripts we use and procedures we use so that others can benefit from them and visa versa. We have a great deal of knowledge in this group where users have distinct areas or expertise, some of us have worked on windows installs, some on printing issues, some on Adobe products, some on dump packages and custom triggers etc.











 We could build up an archive of useful tips and hints that anyone of in the group can dip into at anytime.











 You guys may have some great tips and hints and procedures that wont get on this list because no one asks the question but may be of use to us all.











 We could also gather a list of users and what our areas or expertise are, where we work and what we.











 what do you guys think?












 Regards











 Criss
