RE: New team member

I can't find it in the FAQ; what frying pan did you jump out of?  ;-)

Hi - Thanks for the welcomes!

 

It's cool to be creating content for a tool where the developers and
users interact! (As Mark said, please let me know what
instructions/demos you need most.)

 

I inherited some well-done content. I look forward to creating more
(written, demos, maybe podcasts if they're helpful).

 

And I promise to get right to the point - I know you're busy!

 

(You're right - we'll have to get a new team photo but no promises - I'm
not sure yet who here is camera-shy. As for the syringe
knowledge-transfer idea, we'll see.)

 

Go Team!

Donna

Pictures?

In the past several pictures of the team were on the forum, so those are
now outdated.


Groetjes,

Welcome, Donna!  

 

Our condolences to you, too. ;-)

 

Couldn't you just package up all that content in a syringe and give us a
poke in the arm like a flu shot (or maybe in the glutes?)?

On the other hand, many of you say that you get a lot out of our Help
system. And this does vary, according to demographics and country. We
only have so many resources to go around, and we do have some legal
obligations to continue to produce the older style docs.  Is there a
more effective way to release 'Content' and 'Knowledge' so that it helps
people more? Are videos more accessible than linear Help system pages?
Is it worth trying to unbury content out in AskToad, ToadWorld, the
Yahoo Groups, the Quest Support/KnowledgeBase and so on, or are people
in this age much more likely to seek stream of consciousness solutions
which are more timely and relevant? Are there newer, more effective ways
to develop and get you the Help you need, in a more efficient manner?
What can the new media offer, and is there potential in giving users
easier ways to provide more direct Content to the Toad Community?
