url seems like we need a pinned meta thread that summarizes our 'findings so far' i.e.
"these are phones/screens that multiple people have found usable" ,
"these are the physical problems we are having"
"these are our assumptions of the causes"
& also a little campaign of pestering actual engineers, psychs & eye docs to find the ones who might be interested in helping
Creating this separate thread to try resolving this problem.
Here's the issue, I've created about 3+ instances for resolving this, including:
- wikimedia
- wikimedia (encore)
- Pinned category
- wordpress
But they've all in some manner failed. I consider it important to make any source like this at least semi-reliable, so I have to prioritize the below over getting as many entries as possible.
Accessibility
- I don't want to exclude anybody from contributing, but I can not allow just anyone to make changes (spam).
- Multiple people means accidental deletes / modifications so some form of revision control is need.
Reliability
- Findings need at least some level of reliability, whether through video, images or other documentation, including what they tested for and what that result was.
- "It works for me" does not constitute a reliable finding
Thoroughness
- When we make a claim that a device is ok to work with, what does that mean?
Something that works for one person does not for another. If we make a claim that multiple people have found usable, what are they generally affected by and why does this one not have that effect? (eg, no flickering identified when typically affected by PWM)
There seems to be a interest again, however before I try to implement something again, I want to figure out a best-course plan. As for a pinned meta thread, I don't see a single thread being able to fully answer it for two reasons:
- Pinned threads are not permanently pinned and can be hard to find (a Header link would resolve this second part)
- Having multiple people editing a single post with no revision control is a headache waiting to happen
My thinking is this: I can create a wordpress site and choose some interested parties in building up information in it. Then adding more / less users if interested.
A less expansive alternative would be some form of github page allowing pull requests for changes
It'll likely be located at wiki.ledstrain.org
and there will be a link called Wiki next to Contact.
Thoughts?
