 The comments section for vimtips is not very reliable (who goes back
 every day to see if his tips have got a new comment added to them?).
 Since vim-online scripts (unlike tips) require logging in, if you have a
 comment you can email the maintainer.

Maintainer could get notification by e-mail. Common feature in www forums.

A forum that generates an rss feed for new postings for tips  comments
 discussion could turn out to be useful. As the vim site is hosted by
sf.net, one (i.e. one of the vim project developers) could, for a start, 
create a forum for scripts and tips and maybe allow anonymous posting -- 
although sf.net forums have some minor usability issues.


I think people usually write plugin authors only when the plugin stops 
working. With new/unknown plugins, I assume the decision would rather be 
to uninstall the plugin. An anonymous forum would probably lower the 
threshold to give feedback -- if this really is what you want :-).




Comments/Additional Notes for scripts

2006-06-18 Thread Jochen Baier

hi,


would it be possible to make a Commments/Additional
Notes functionallty for scripts ? Similiar to the
Additional Notes in the tips section.

with this the feedback from the user would be better. and
the developer of the script can improve the script and would
be more motivated.

regards jochen

Re: Comments/Additional Notes for scripts

I get almost zero emails on the scripts I've added.  This means
1) They work perfectly
2) They are getting downloaded, but not used
3) There isn't enough immediacy to the feedback options, i.e. people
more likely to respond in a forum, than take the trouble to do
individual correspondance.


From looking at the sourceforge help links, it looks like nothing has

been done to the functionality for years.  Is it true that it has gone
static?
