Hi guys.
I've seen plenty of people saying how it's too quiet over at TrainzDev.com, and that it's not really worth having any more, and my experience over the last couple of months since coming back into the Trainz fold seems to back this up.
First off, the Wiki does not have anywhere near the amount of information it should have by now, considering that it was set up for TS2009 originally.
Before anyone says it's up to the public to fill up the Wiki, those willing to fill the Wiki need to be told how to use the new TS2009/2010 features in detail by Auran before they can add it to the Wiki.
As it is, content creators have to go by mostly trial and error, and they must either get fed up with trying or by the time they've cracked it, they really can't be bothered with adding it to the Wiki.
Secondly, the Auran presence over there is just as bad as it is over here, but aren't Auran supposed to be there to help develop?
I don't expect Chris to be able to have a presence over here and there (I'd prefer he was there if anywhere though), as he's already giving up some of his spare time here (he was on today, Saturday!).
But what about the others?
TS2010 Credits list the following:
Programming:
Chris Bergmann
James Moody
Terry Palmer
Steve Halliwell
Art:
Rob Shaw
Apart from Chris, how often do the others post?
Why doesn't James post any more?
He's exactly the sort of person who could pass on the relevant information to the community (Coder and modeller).
And have the other 2 ever posted on either forum?
And why doesn't Rob jump in and pass on relevant info when it's requested?
If there was enough of a presence on the TrainzDev forum from those people, the content creators would discuss it over there, those threads would be viewable to anyone wanting to know about the specific subject, and eventually the Wiki would fill up with step-by-step tutorials.
As it stands, there are plenty of unanswered questions over there, going back many, many months.
BTW, this question has already been asked over there, about a month ago I think, but it didn't get an answer. :wave:
Seriously, and this is for content creators only please, does Auran need to give TrainzDev the attention it needs and deserves, or should they pull the plug?
Answers on a postcard please (or just post here).
Smiley.
