List of OXP feedback forum threads?

Post by Oathbreaker »

Ideally, each OXP should have a wiki page, even if the author prefers you using a different site for his OXP's information it could just be a quick external link.

Ideally, each such wiki page would have a link to the forum feedback thread or whatever the author prefers to get bug reports/feedback/chocolate chip cookies through.

Alternately, someone enterprising could make a forum sticky and keep it up to date with links to the forum feedback thread for each OXP. Or maybe a wiki page would be easier?

A nice idea - all my OXP wiki pages now have such links in their discussion tabs.

A few of the OXPs (mainly the demo ones) don't have wiki pages, but they don't really need them either.

As stated, none of my OXPs have wiki pages. Not that I'm opposed to them having one, just I haven't made one for them and neither has anyone else.

The OXP page might be more useful if it linked to each OXP's message thread on the forum if a wiki page for that OXP doesn't exist.

Absolutely. I think the Simple Solution(tm) here is to simply edit the http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/OXP_List page to have a column with the heading "Feedback Forum Thread" or similar. Maybe just "Forum thread" or "Feedback".

I'd take care of that but don't have wiki access, I pm'd Winston about it but dunno if he's around much.

We already have the Infobox templates. We could add a forum link to the table for Infobox_OXP and if we are at it we could change the History to Release date.

So, any objections if I go and change the Infobox_OXP template?
