Talk:Modem configuration
I think the text page should be moved back here. The text page is clear, and I don't think this is something for which a flow chart is either necessary or works well. If we must have a flow chart, then why not put it at Modem Configuration (flowchart). -- MW 07:52, 15 Mar 2006 (PST)
I have no idea if a flow chart will work for this, but a builder wanted to do some work to get answers to common questions up in build to make things easier for the instructors and Richard suggested doing it with flow charts. It could be that all we really need to do it print the text instructions we already have, but making flow charts is fun and the builder should learn how, even if we end up deciding to go another route. I chose these two things to start with for flow charts because they seemed to be the things that had the best combination of helping answer very common questions and being fairly easy to come up with flow chart steps for. If you have any other suggestions of things we could try making flow charts for in build, let us know. The reason I moved the other page to (Text Instructions was because there is already a page called Card Sorting (Text Instructions), I think it was already called that from the old howto before I added a flow chart, and I wanted to be consistent.
- The Card Sorting (Text Instructions) page is out of date and should be deleted. The current Card Sorting page which contains both text and flowchart is quite good. I am not opposed to adding a flowchart to the modem config page, although I think a separate page might be better. I am opposed to converting everything to flowchart and relegating the text to a secondary page, especially breaking a bunch of links in the process. The modem configuration page is not just a build page but is used in tech support as well and that should be kept in mind when making changes like this. I have moved the old page back and moved your empty page to Modem configuration (flowchart). I look forward to seeing what you come up with. -- MW 12:24, 15 Mar 2006 (PST)
I forgot about the links. I'm looking forward to seeing what we come up with as well. For all I know, the flow chart will look better than the text and we'll decide to delete the text and put a copy of the flow chart in tech support as well.
- Entirely possible, though my concern is not looks but usability. MW 13:11, 15 Mar 2006 (PST)
Deleting Request?
I'm in my first week and I've already found this page useful. Not sure why it's suggested for deletion. ~RH
