| − | I have a question about your Feb 2021 note regarding opencircuits software changes: I notice the page view counts, which were at the bottom of all pages, are now missing.
| |
| − | I liked those because I could see which of my projects got lots of interest. Can we have those counts back? [[User: Definitionofis]]

| − | Dear russ_hensel,
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I think you might enjoy reading and editing
| |
| − | [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Practical_Electronics Wikibooks: Practical Electronics].
| |
| − | Perhaps also
| |
| − | [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Circuit_Idea Wikibooks: Circuit Idea].
| |
| − | (But I also want you to keep editing here!)

| − | == confused ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | OK, I'm confused.
| |
| − | It appears that you created the page [[Russ hensel test]], and then later created the page [[PIC Links]] with exactly the same content.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | So ... why didn't you use the "move this page" link at the bottom of the page to rename the page "Russ hensel test" to the better name "PIC Links"?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If I find a URL to a really nice page about PIC electronics and firmware, which of these 2 pages am I supposed to put that URL on?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Something like this happens all the time on larger wiki -- someone thinks we need a page on "such and such", and someone else independently thinks we need a page on the same topic, but names it slightly differently -- "SuchAndSuch".
| |
| − | But this is this the first time I've seen the same person create 2 pages on the same topic with slightly different names.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For now I'm going to pretend those 2 pages were created by 2 different people, and go through the standard process:
| |
| − | * post a notice "suggesting" a merge
| |
| − | * If no one objects in a few days (a week?), cut-and-paste the text (without editing) from one page to the other, leaving "text moved to page such-and-such" comments in the "summary" field, so people can see that I'm moving text, not deleting text.
| |
| − | * Later: edit the page to have only 1 copy of duplicate information.
| |
| − | I should probably document this process in the [[Help:Contents]] page.

| |

| |
| − | I see you and I are also posting to the Electronics and Robotics StackExchange ( http://electronics.stackexchange.com ), formerly http://ChipHacker.com .
| |

| |
| − | It seems to have a lot more activity than the OpenCircuits wiki.
| |
| − | I'm not sure I want that much activity, but I think a little more would be good here.
| |
| − | Is there anything we can learn from StackExchange and apply here?

| |
| − | Looks like you are making progress with [[motors]] and other things.
| |
| − | Thank you.
| |
| − | Something seems to have gone wrong with [[toaster oven reflow]] and [[toaster oven]] -- is this close enough to an Open Circuit, or has some spammer replaced our information with an advertisement?
| |
| − | Alas, looks like I'll be busy doing other stuff for the next few weeks --
| |
| − | good luck!

| |
| − |
| |
| − | I haven't seen any spam at OpenCircuits.com for several days.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Perhaps we've finally gotten the anti-spam stuff working better than I had ever hoped.
| |
| − | Or perhaps something has gone horribly wrong and practically everyone has been locked out, even the people we *want* to edit the wiki.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I've recently read [http://c2.com/doc/forwards/beck2.html "Program computers you can unplug"] (via [[Wiki: ProgramComputersYouCanUnplug]]).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Do you have a machine (perhaps a virtual machine) that we can use to practice restoring the backups I periodically generate of the current OpenCircuits site?
| |
| − | (And more importantly, verifying that the backups are actually usable?)
