Idea: SmartApp directory

(I should have looked into the wiki before I replied; I can see it’s collecting tags that point back here. Makes sense.)

So, I guess the question is: is there a general sense that the community is:

A) happy with things the way they are, using forum software and tags to organize and collect and discover releases, their versions, people’s responses to them, and possible bug fixes
B) wishing for something else but willing to put up with the current structure

I’m not sure if that is a fair question to ask, or even one that anyone really can answer. I also may do better starting a new thread. This has already been very helpful.

There’s a meta-section in this forum for discussion of the forum, so feel free to start a new thread there. You could even include a poll in it if you like.

There’s also an existing thread for discussion of the wiki:

Announcing ThingsThatAreSmart.wiki

Hi everyone, Something has been bothering me for a while, and I’ve seen others comment on it as well… There is so much amazing content from the community on these forums, but in the forum format, it can be really hard to find the info that you’re looking for, and when you do find an answer, it’s impossible to know whether it is the latest and greatest info on the topic. To solve this problem, I’d like to announce the launch of [ThingsThatAreSmart.wiki][1], the unofficial SmartThings wiki! [ [image]][1] We’ve setup this wiki to provide a place for the community to create content in wiki article format, that can be easily linked to, updated, and maintained by everyone. The initial set of categories includes: Officially supported devices Details we’ve learned about these dev…

Personally, I’d really like to see something much more robust put in place. I’m going to the doctor tomorrow and starting a new course of meds and I suspect I won’t be online much at least for December. It would be great to come back and find out you guys have organized everything!

I will add that my own particular concern is that right now there are seven different versions of the SmartThings platform being sold at retail and the features and even the devices do vary somewhat. This forum and even the wiki are just not set up to deal with that. I don’t know what’s going to happen once people open their shiny new Christmas presents and start coming here looking for answers on the Connect and the Nvidia and the ADT models.
