ATTN Amahi Users! Suggest wiki articles!

Postby sgtfoo » Mon Jul 29, 2013 7:38 am

If you're a new or experienced user of Amahi in any way, please jump in and suggest any Amahi wiki articles you'd like to have added that you can't seem to find, or would just like some guidance put into writing.

I'll try to make sure it's visible and accessible, or even write the article if I have to!
If it already exists, I'll put the link here as well.

Might be a good idea to put an article on manually installing a web app. We have users asking about that frequently. There is some guidance in the wiki, but it needs to be explained a bit better.

We should promote this in the social networks. Some people surely will have ideas.

One that I have been thinking for a while is this: separate pages for apps or devices that work well with various client devices/OSs. Apps both on Amahi and also on the clients.

Examples:
  • iOS e.g. app to browse shares, to play media from shares, media playing via DLNA, etc.
  • Android, similar
  • Tablets? Phones?
  • PS3
  • Xbox
  • TVs, e.g. smart tvs, etc.
  • Media players
We kind of had some for DLNA related TVs/media players, etc.

I know it's hard to slice and dice all these by the various apps or OSs, or form factors, etc. and make it suitable for human consumption.

The main breakthrough here is to figure out how to represent/navigate the information shown. The community can probably provide a LOT of valuable insights and recommendations as to what apps to use and how to maximize Amahi over all these devices and form factors.

Great ideas overall.

Sorry, there will be no upgrade path per se. Going from Fedora 14 or Ubuntu to Fedora 19 is not possible without a fresh install.

There are some tips that can be posted, but for the most part the only component to transition is Greyhole drives. Quite a few changes in Amahi 7 platform.
