Wish: B4J-Subforum for RaspBerry Pi

[KMatle]

One of B4J's biggest milestones is to support the RaspBerry Pi. It would be much easier to have a Sub-Forum.

If I may, it does not only support PI, as it support any device capable of running Java, so I would "wish" for a Devices sub-forum with added topic prefixes, such as "Raspi", "Arduino" or even "Banana Pi"

Even better.

I don't think that adding topic-specific subforums will make the forum more organized. It will for sure require more moderation.

You should add [IoT] prefix to discussions related to IoT.

You can then easily search for relevant threads: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/pages/results/?query=iot

The search engine will also find all raspberry pi related threads: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/pages/results/?query=raspberry+pi

the risk will be the specialization of a general purpose forum... it will eventually become 90% [IoT] related, so finding general B4J info will be more difficult.

One word about Forum Moderation...
I've been here for about a decade, and during all this time, you, Erel, have taken the Forum Moderation as a personal task. while I can understand why, for the main Forums, the lesser subForums, like the eventual [IoT] subforum, could be moderated by a trusted user (not me!!!!)

For sure the [IoT] convention is very usefull for searching the forum. But in the case of Raspberry Pi I can see a lot of different naming from Raspberry Pi to Raspberry, RasPi, RPi, even RB or RP are sometimes also used.

What about some sort of convention like [RPi]. IMO RPi is the most commonly used shortname for the Raspberry Pi around the Web. But maybe everything related to RPi should be marked as IoT related. What do you think?

 

[Erel]

[RPi] is a good idea for threads specific to the raspberry pi. You can also use both prefixes.
