DEFMAN - a starter's manual for new DEF-membersLog Entry in Admin Change-Log (="What's new?"):- 20200402 - REMOVED: DEFMAN - a starter's manual for new DEF-members.
Description:DEFMAN was a nice idea to offer some sort of a first overview as a quickstart so that a new member who wants to have it printed out gets MAXIMUM 2 pages and can work them through QUICKLY and avoid the standard excuse "Oh, I am not computer savvy and it is oh so much to read, therefore I completely avoid it then".
Assessment:We have been meaning to release all this for ages, in various forms, and always ended up not doing it because "we would just have to clean it up a bit first...". Members were just not working on it hard enough, people came and went, leaving it all unfinished. Most did not even get it into their brains that DEFMAN was not meant to be another "GWX-manual" or a rewrite of it or that it would be totally useless to have everything of the forum taken, copied and put into a document (we would have to change/update in 2 locations then). DEF-members should not receive a "novel" that they can then either ignore like all requests by GD or put it under their pillow to sleep on. Reworks began on 20171011 and after 3 years of running after and waiting for people it was still not done, so I pulled the plug. I believe we got bogged down and totally sidetracked by totally unimportant details and things that definitely do NOT belong in that manual, but rather in our forum - or in videos!
