All, I decide to take part of the thread "Some questions from first user" to this new thread for a seperate discussion: >> 9. (from FAQ) "Do you have a database of sensors.conf entries for >> specific boards? >> No. Good idea though. If you would like to set one up on your website >> send us mail and we will set up a link to it." >> Why hasn't this been setup yet? Some sort of a database is at the >> wiki, but doesn't contain many boards. Is any help still appreciated? >> Is it just a table of manufacturer, type, sensors.conf file? (and >> maybe some user registrations and comments by registered users?) >It has not been setup because nobody took the time and energy to do so. >Yes, it's "only" a set of configuration files indexed by board >manufacturer/model. But you need to store them somewhere in a safe way, >provide a way to search and retrieve them, provide a way to add and >amend them (with protection from spam or any form of abuse.) You are >welcome to help, but no, this isn't a trivial task. The idea I have on this: could dokuwiki with the discussion plugin be a possible solution? https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:discussion - visitors can register and are allowed to add comments to pages, give input and share tips - volunteers can request the administrator for a new page that contains their sensors.config file for a specific board. Volunteers can hand over maintenance to a new volunteer, but it is also possible to have 2 different pages (and configs) for the same board. - administrator maintains the wiki structure - anti spam and search functionality is available Please share your ideas on this subject, I might be willing to setup a solution and perform the administrative maintenance.
