Tried to add new image to root washer entry - and page lost all forms after upload button was hit.

__ This conversation inspired the new Tool called "Tool wiki template". For the most current template and conversation check it out -> http://www.farmhack.org/tools/tool-wiki-template __

Until we have several tools fully documented, I think it would be good to do a mock-tool that shows what a fully documented tool wiki would look like. I think that we should provide a complete example at the top of the page and make it stand out until we have a few more completed tools.

When adding files to a tool wiki, it would be nice to be able to select several files at a time to upload. I am currently working on the oat dehuller and there are over twenty files that each have to be selected individually.

When I changed "Annies all in one" title to "multipurpose cultivation implement" the change did not change the title listed in the forums or in the list of tools. It seems that it should not need to be changed in both locations, but maybe that is OK?

I was just looking at the multipurpose cultivator ("annies all in one") tool entry and it seemed that when there are multipurpose tools that instead of choosing one option, it might be more accurate to check all that apply. Say, soil prep and harvest etc. We have the current option of "universal infrastructure/farm shop" but I think of that as more about tractors, shop tools, buildings etc. I think it probably works OK the way it is, but something to look at.

Hi! Would it be possible to allow for word documents and/or pdf files to be uploaded to the forum? Thank you!

Thanks to David Meehan for pointing this out!

Mihaela's student David brought up that the "What is Farm Hack?" section being all the way at the bottom makes it hard to figure out what Farm Hack is when you land on it. My theory about landing pages is that you have no more than five seconds to 1) explain what the user can do on the site, 2) prove that they can be successful in doing those things, and 3) show why they would want to do that.

Hi everyone, I'm sitting on a bus on my way up to Burlington, VT and I've been trying to imagine the future when we start getting folks talking in the Tool forums and building documentation in the wikis. This coming weekend at the RISD event folks will be asking what these Tool Wikis and Tool Forums are for and I'm having a hard time imagining my explanation without a 15 slide PowerPoint presentation :P. So, I think it would make everyone's lives a lot easier if we simplified the categories for Tool Forum Topics.

We currently have:

Different strokes for different folks

Anyone reading this who has tried to understand how subscriptions work exactly on this site is most likely confused. The current subscription options are just very complicated because there are some many types of subscriptions! For example, you can be subscribed to comments on single thread, edits on a single thread, edits on all threads, edits on all wikis, edits on a specific wiki, comments in a forum, comments in the entire forum, and on and on and on.
