Based on the initial discussion on IMPORTANT: Let's decide the future of Bitwish, I have made some changes to start morphing the old Bitwish in a general forum for the Bitwig community:
- The main page now points to the “Hot” sorting for everyone. Before it was the wishlist features for anonymous users, and Latest for logged in users. The Hot page shows where is conversation and/or
s, and tries to show what is relevant at the top. This ensures that new users get always a good selection of what the forum has to offer. Logged in users will keep seeing links for New and Unread topics. If you wish, you can set Latest by default in your preferences. - There is a General category for any Bitwig related topic. It’s a safe start while we discuss which specific categories want, if any. This means that anyone can create a topic about anything related to Bitwig. I still need to update the documentation to reflect this.
- The “Features” category is now called Community Wishlist, and people can create topics there directly. I still need to get rid of Drafts, after moving the valid wishes to the Wishlist and updating the documentation.
- Presets & Clips is now visible by default. Only the topics receiving a comment or a will make it to the Hot homepage, so it’s ok if the new topics automatically imported from Bitwiggers outnumbers the rest.
I won’t touch Music or Bitwig Video Guide until we decide what to do with them.
Ah, I have also updated Discourse to the last version. For this I had to pull the site for about 20 minutes.
