Using this wiki

• How do you keep track of what needs maintenance and when you do it now? Anything that can be run through OCR? Mpatryluk (talk) 01:08, 2024 September 7 (CDT)
  • I have some outlook tasks, Jeff has many things in his head. A lot of the maintenance is by looking at it and saying, yup, looks like it needs it. Break-fixes generally come from Slack broken. Jeff tracks tasks completed as part of some timekeeping app that can export data but it is pretty much non-structured. I track some tasks completed in outlook as part of scheduling the next round.

• Additional file formats: I know what a wiki is supposed to do WRT documentation but can we also upload files like instruction manual PDFs so that for tools that don't have any training or documentation that there's still a user manual they can consult, even if the contents of the PDF aren't searchable by the wiki? There's a space for a link to the manual but every few months/years there seems to be a shakeout/reorg at some company and products go from "supported" to "archived" or are dropped entirely and the link no longer works. Thoughts? Mpatryluk (talk) 01:03, 2024 September 7 (CDT)
  • I am worried that by allowing .doc and .pdf file formats we will end up with content uploaded that should be integrated. I was trying to preempt that fight by keeping those turned off. You make a good point about link rot. Simply uploading someone else's .pdf file holds copyright questions, too. Might need further discussion. Ttenbergen (talk) 22:07, 2024 September 7 (CDT)
