Now the International category needs some work and planning ahead: How are we going to sort languages?
The obvious solution is to have language tags. Users might be able to create them as they go (I just added the “Jails” tag to the jailmaker placeholder thread, and was offered the opportuni)ty to create “Jai” along the way), but some standardisation would help avoiding duplicates (Français / French / lang.: Français etc… but mind what could happen with non-latin scripts).
Should these tags be restricted to the international category? Otherwise we could as well have tagged non-English threads everywhere. (Almighty Chaos, I Salute Thee!)
Irrespective of the above: How does one manage to keep an eye specifically on the languages in which one might contribute? (It was all so simple with language-specific subforums…)
I’ve come to believe that the “voting on suggestions” mechanism is just a charade. iX “accepted” the seven-year-old suggestion to incorporate a web-based file manager over three years ago. They likewise accepted the wrong-headed suggestion to include a firewall (and control over it) in TrueNAS. But we haven’t seen hide nor hair of either of these.
Yeah, obviously I’d figure it out 30 seconds AFTER posting. Thanks though! I’d still think it’d be nice to add to the default options when making post/signature; or better yet be the default status for Signature when creating.
Also, if you ping @discobot start advanced tutorial inside the conversation you have with him once you finish the basic tutorial you will get the advanced tutorial.
Created these again for you, plus SLOG. It seems that you have to add them to a thread to validate, and they they remain in the list even after deletion, though one has to click on the pencil icon next to “Tags” in order to see tags with a count of zero.
There appears to be some differences between users’ permissions: apparently me, @etorix and @winnielinnie have the same priviledges but I seem to not be able to edit another user’s topic to insert categories or create any tags.
I have found the reson: apparently, my trust level is member while theirs is regular, maybe because of the bootstrap mode being activated after my registration.
If the “TrueNAS General” category is meant to discuss TrueNAS products, tagged as CORE and/or SCALE as required, where do general discussions about ZFS features go? Here as well, with the “ZFS” tag? To both “CORE” and “SCALE” tags? How is “ZFS” different from allocating both “CORE” and “SCALE”.
Discussions about TrueNAS hardware products presumably go under “TrueNAS General” with the “Hardware” tag, since these are “TrueNAS products”. But then discussions about generic hardware and home builds, which are not products from iXsystems, should NOT go to “TrueNAS General”… Do they go into “General Discussion”, or shouldn’t “Hardware” be a category rather than a tag?
