Where to put your content

First person content => If you are contributing and expect to write in first person ("I") and do not want people editing your content even if it is incorrect, then find the right Discussion Forum to post your topic in. The PIUG Discussion Forum is anticipated to take the place of PIUG-L as described below.

Third person content => If you are contributing factual content for the overall benefit of the wiki community and are not going to write in first person and are not concerned about others editing your content for the benefit of all, then find or create a non-forum wiki page. Where it fits in the general hierarchy (see Navigation in the left side panel) can be taken care of later if necessary.

PIUG Discussion Forum

This is the proposed replacement for the PIUG Discussion List (PIUG-L). Try it out with the understanding that the audience is still small. Once you login, be sure to click on the "Watch Page Family"  icon at the upper-right corner of the main discussion forum page to get email notifications of new or changed postings in the forum. Alternatively, watch the whole PIUG space to be notified of all changes in content using the "  Watch this Space" option in the menu under your username.

The wiki discussion forum has more functionality and benefits and few drawbacks compared to PIUG-L as described in the announcement posting. The PIUG Board of Directors will make the decision in the next few months about when the replacement will take place and how we will handle the transition. Post your feedback about the replacement process in directly in the discussion forum.
