Community-edited documentation
Ostracus:
I've entertained the idea. The rest of it is finding the time to set up, and run such a thing. I assume the best so far is one could set up a publicly accessible folder on Skydrive. The community could set some kind of expectations, and standards.
giqcass:
Well lets talk about expectations and standards here. Is everyone thinking kind of Wikipedia style?
Do we have admins approve each article? Do we let people rate it up or down based on helpfulness?
Perhaps an article get's posted blog Style and then people comment below. The first post then is maintained by the original poster or admin/moderator with comments below added to the first post if they are relevant. An index would be automatically created based on categories and sub categories the poster chose.
We would need:
Contributors
Admins
Rules
Tired tonight. Time to go to bed.
Ostracus:
There's another thing to note. I suspect why RonR's advice did as well as it did is because he had the time to play with the devices.
Felix:
PaulC: it's an excellent suggestion. But the problem I have with this suggestion is that Admin guide is such a terrible document in the first place. And Obihai staff seems completely uninterested in improving the documentation. I am suspecting that Obihai is trying to seal a deal with service providers, and direct-to-consumer documentation will become irrelevant. I hope I am wrong, but I don't see any other explanation.
Skydrive might be an interesting idea, but I would expect that Obihai could set up a wiki on this website, where experienced users would contribute knowledge, moderators edit the style and everybody wins. Otherwise, experts like RonR get frustrated and just leave. Best case, nuggets of information are scattered across forum threads.
How sad!

Indeed, although I'd be surprised if Linksys actively supports their ATAs. Anyway if moddability is done away with a lot will simply leave for another brand.
