[arm-allstar] Forum

[Doug Crompton]

I am not sure whether to take your message as a joke or not. There are
forum  archives and they can be searched if necessary like any other email
forum. If you have a problem we are here to help and we have had many
compliments about good documentation and help. I am more than willing to
work with anyone to get a node running and I have many times communicated
via skype or the phone to do just that. The web page hamvoip.org has a
considerable amount of information on how to setup a node and howto's on
many subjects.

If you have a question or a problem we would be glad to answer it. I would
say good luck finding better help and quality then you would get with the
hamvoip distribution.

This is not a real forum, this is a email thread that is EXTREMELY
difficult to sort through.
You need a real forum and I'm willing to help set one up but I can't
continue to hope for support via a email thread.

I've emailed once about the wx alert issues. Sure it's almost pointless to
use wx alerts since it's pulling from the web and people can get alerts on
their phone but then again doing a online node is almost useless too
because if the internet went down or became unstable then connecting to a
online node is pointless and as we all node the internet is a delicate
creature.

The one thing a asterisk node does do is make setting up a very versatile
repeater quite easy but in order to make these nodes/repeaters the best
they can be we need to be able to pool our knowledge, resources and a
actual forum and a bug tracking system will do just that.

Not only will it free up much of your and your team's time but it'll allow
the community to help and communicate with each other.

Right now the one thing that almost NO asterisk BBB node OS/software has is
a decent forum where users can commune.

If you're interested in the help in setting up a forum I'm interested in
helping but keep in mind, my time is stretched very thin, my knowledge of
programming, scripting and electronics very limited. My main strength is
networking, security and basic hardware.

Hopefully you receive this email and take it seriously. If not then I
definitely see this version of a Asterisk node failing and the near future
and I'll be forced to search out another version that has better
communications, support, ect.

I don't mean this to sound like hate mail, it's really not, this is a
frustrated email due to lack of communications for a product that has
potential but not without better support.
