:: I found my name, prior address and phone number - thankfully all outdated. I deleted them anyway. And added a comment to the edit info for that change. Hope that's allowable and remains clean. I know this stuff is already public, but it's not normally available in a simple [[Google]] search, and although it is security through obscurity, that is a perfectly acceptable form of "limiting" the potential for unwanted discovery. Any half decent security expert will advocate security through obscurity as a useful part of any systematic approach to security - it might be a minimal contributor, but it A contributor in some form.

== process improvement ==
−
A process problem for new people: Somebody puts a note or message in my own talk section. I then respond to this person in my own talk section via the “edit” command, rather than placing my reply in this other person’s talk section. (I was told this is the proper procedure by some familiar with aboutus).
−
−
This still leaves me wondering, when I so edit my own talk page, by adding this reply, will the other person know it – does he or she get some type of automatic message that I have made a reply to their comment (placed in my talk section)? I think for new people, this process could be more clearly explained.[[MartinPfahler]]
−
−
: ''Hi [[MartinPfahler]] , I generally leave comments on a persons talk page rather than my own! That way it alerts the person that there is a message for them. It is a bit of a disrupted conversation that way, but I personally think it works better. What way do you think it will work for you? (What, there are differing opinions at [[AboutUs]]?!!?! ;-) Best, [[MarkDilley]]''
−
−
Mark, I think any way will work, its just to know what standard all people agree to use. Currently it seems there is no standard - which might cause confusion for new people. Perhaps to mention this "how to" issue in the aboutus tour or navigation section? Note Ted's related posting in today's "community" section.[[MartinPfahler]]
−
−
== process improvement ==
−
−
When people give suggestions about process issues, etc., it might help to set up some way to track these suggestions over time. For example a person might come back in a week, to see if their suggestion has resulted in a relevant change. Over time, if people don’t get this type of feedback, they tend to lose interest in giving suggestions. Some tracking feedback might be nothing more than, “our back end Techies have noted your suggestion but it is tough one to code, and it is currently way down our priority list, so it is unlikely to be implemented for at least six months” – which at least gives the suggestor some idea of the current status of their suggestion.

Why don't you use the aboutus.com domain (which is yours) if you are a for profit organization?

== Domains ==
−
−
For some reason this site seems to auto generate information about www.domain.tld if you enter domain.tld. But these are two different domain names. There can be different sites behind. Also when one enters thirdlevel.domain.tld, it seems to generate information from www.domain.tld (again, not domain.tld which would be a logical choice if you would only whish to list second level domains). A suggestion is to first try domain.tld and if that does not exist, fall back to www.domain.tld.
−
−
Marco
−
:* Hello Marco. www.domain.tld and domain.tld are the same things, unlesss you talking about something else.

We are listening to and looking at the program of Bayless Conley for several years. Every week we look forward to Sunday-morning 8.30 a.m.

May God bless you abundantly!

You might want to ensure all your "clients" have a "contact us" link. I've tried to see if [[Novatix.com|Novatix]] has a patch for a problem but there is no way to contact them. If they don't let you put a "contact us" link in place why not state that the company doesn't want to be bothered by the people that buy their software?
: ''Hi Ernie, we agree!! Although these folks are not our clients, we do hope by letting everyone fix the information, that we will building a more accurate place for contact information. !!!

I'd like to see an option on each domain page whereby owners can:
−
−
*opt to re-send the bot to their sites immediately to extract it's most recent information;
−
*define the max amount of text (perhaps in character count) to extract, and followed by a "read more" link;
−
*specify an updates interval/frequency to tell the bot how often the site is updated.
−
−
With blogs, news sites, etc., these get updated frequently. I think the above would allow AboutUS to have the most up-to-date information possible if the bot could re-visit any site that chooses to allow it. --[[Robert]] | <small>[[User talk:Robert|talk]]</small>

Change the main page's meta tag to be "AboutUs Domain Directory" instead of "Main Page - About Us" so that's what shows up when anyone adds this to their Favorites.

=== Refresh thumbnail ===

Although it looks like you take the thumbnails from a third party, there should be some way to refresh the thumbnails or at least ask for such a refresh to be scheduled. One of my domains has this problems as it was not yet configured, but a thumbnail was already taken. Thanks. --[[User:Assarbad|Assarbad]] 01:22, 1 September 2006 (PDT)

=== Declare owner ===
−
One really nice feature would be to link a wiki account to domain pages. This way you spare the concern I raised above (about re-sending the bot), since it is sure the owner does a certain action.
−
−
I do not know how this could be achieved best, but there should be some way of identifying a user. An idea for that '''could''' be that the respective user requests "ownership" via a button on the respective domain page. One of the editors comes along and sends a message with an activation key to the email address given as ADMIN-C (or whatever else is being decided). Once received, the user will have to enter that key on one of his personal pages and he now owns the page.
−
−
Yes, it would be a little risk if someone hacks the mail server, but that's the only one I can see.
−
−
'''Note:''' The request for ownership must be linked to the wiki user account (although the email addresses need not to match). The request must be valid only for a certain decent period. The request must be linked to the respective domain page as well so that no two activation requests can ever interfere.--[[User:Assarbad|Assarbad]] 01:32, 1 September 2006 (PDT)

Can you guys give me a function that automatically shows nested page links like say:

For every page that starts with 3DN [[Three Dimensional Networking]]
−
Find links
−
List page name with most link; name PML
−
List each link in PML with one indent; name PML1 -> n
−
For PML1, list each link with two indent; name PML1a -> z
−
etc.
−
−
So that it looks like:
−
−
Three Dimensional Networking
−
−
:Essential Unity
−
::Good and Evil
−
:::Matrix or Star Wars
−
:::Financial or Living Resources
−
::::Self-help Corporation

::Whole System

:::Self-help Corporation
−
:Connections, bonds, relationships,bridges
