Phil, you have a good and valid point, sometimes I feel intimidated by the posts here.
But the goal is to allow everyone to learn from the experts, and also to feel comfortable enough to ask simple questions. This will be a tough thing to do, and it will take some time to reach this balance, to make those new programmers feel welcome enough to ask their questions. But it must be done to help spread the word of just what Nion can do, and how it is done.
Anyone will be able to read the posts, and so learn how MediaMatrix products work. But to post, they must be a registered users. To keep the silly questions (the “noise" from Charles' post in the announcement topic) to a minimum, only MediaMatrix rep firms and distributors, dealers, and end users who have attended a Nion/NWare seminar will be allowed to register and post. Consultants will be the only group that can register without attending a class (obviously, some proof that they are consultants will be required).
Classes are held around the world. In fact, Phil is teaching a class next week in his part of the world. Within the next six months, we hope to have an on-line course available that will teach the basics.
I think we have all learned a great deal from each other, I know I have. I look forward to this next stage of our Forum.
Make it intuitive, never leave them guessing.
