Is this GIS Developers section where I'd ask/post about Python related items?
I have to admit I am entirely lost on the this new format as it is such a drastic departure from any logical approach to an forum I've been a part of.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks Christina!
But can I ask: why should I need to review documents and training guides to figure out a discussion forum?
James, I couldn't agree more!
As for the Discussions Lobby - I have a 32" monitor here, and when I go to said Lobby, the entire browser window is taken up with cute icons, banners and clickables ... ok, scroll down to find some content. Kinda like putting all the advertisements on the front page of the newspaper, and the stuff you're looking for on page 2+.
Style apparently trumps content even here.
Yes, way too much wasted space! Even the emails sent out have wasted white space that makes it harder to see the meat of the message. Maybe if we call complain next week at the conference Jack will get the message.
The discussion "Polar Bears and Their Use as GPS Tools" has been deleted .... it was just plain silly.
Old Python forum content ended up under GIS Developers, tagged with Python in GeoNet - GIS Developers
.
Hi Elaeanor!
So IOW's, there is no logical "Python forum". I have to search, filter, tag, content, blog rather than just go to a forum specific to python?
When I arrived to the new forum my eyes immediately looked for "Python". Didn't yours? Yes, I am a "GIS Developer" but I would expect a bit more granularity about what it is I am developing.
In my case, I'm going to give ESRI the benefit of the doubt and try to work out the new forums.
Problem is, this situation shouldn't happen in the first place! If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I wouldn't be so quick to label this place a "Forum".
I fully agree with the sentiment in the posts. It is like they are trying to do something like stack overflow, but in doing so they have broken the old (working) system. I wish that they would at lest keep the old forum up for a time....
