I think an app similar to devrant with built in search, an ability to upload files and an accompanying website will work well. Unfortunately, this will require considerable time, expertise and resources. Thanks,

It has not worked 100% for a week or so after they introduced SSO, but this should be fixed soon enough I think. Secondly BMC Communities works pretty much as ARSList, even though it has less bad taste jokes ;-) In other words the bulk of what happens is people asking questions about Remedy or ITSM. I was also afraid that they would sensor or meddle in the postings too much, but as Dan said this does not seem to be a big problem. I have received a ping once or twice, but the decision to change the original post has always been on me. Communities has some good things like marking answers as correct, this closing questions, and being able to publish documents (zip-files, def-files, word-documents) which is separated from all the questions/answers. There is also a lot of functionality to find other people there, so in that sense it is more like Facebook than the ARSList is. For me ARSList is more dear, and when time is short I revert to only reading the ARSList... Joe, you should give it an honest test! In any event you might have to move there anyway if you still want to read the ARSList ;-) Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://www.rrr.se (ARSList MVP 2011) Ask the Remedy Licensing Experts (Best R.O.I.
