Hi guys,
Ok, now I know people have been asking for more advanced installers, addon choosers, etc. But here's a simple one:
Add a help file to cosmos***** and/or a package information page to the site, listing all the packages you distribute and exactly what is in them.
For example, I am pretty sure, at an instinctive level, that I want cosmos_lite to start out with. But, from a user's standpoint, how do I find out what addons are there, and which have been removed? Or how do I find out exactly what 'thottbot_only' means? (I assume this means the /tloc command only, but who knows?).
I work at IBM, and there's one lesson I've learned from seeing through multiple product releases --> you can have the most fantastic feature/function on the marketplace, but the guys who present their feature/function the best to the customer always win.
I know you're doing this on your own time, but looking over the forum posts I see a real hunger for information about your product. I actually have recently moved from coding into an information development role, so if you need some advice or edits on your documentation, please let me know. In the meantime, I'm really looking to figure out which package to install. I've heard the comment re: addon overload so I'll probably try the lite version first.
regards, and keep up the excellent work.
it is a great complement to become the "defacto standard" in your field.
