I had a thought that is would be beneficial if users could upload custom fixlets and BigFix could house them, allowing users to download already created fixlets and not have to recreate them. We all have custom content that I’m sure other people could find useful.
yes… we have been thinking about this lately… originally the forum was supposed to allow this because you could import/export Fixlets and attach them to posts… and we do a lot of that, but I think we could have a better system…
We are currently working on a “BigFix Labs” area where we will publish interesting things that aren’t quite products, but this doesn’t fully address what you are looking for…
Any thoughts on what might be cool to help everyone trade Fixlets?
That works too Tratz. My concern though, is that if it is in a forum (and depends how it is setup), a user will have to scroll and scroll to browse for a fixlet. What I am thinking is some form of hierarchical method (my apologizes for the formatting)
And then when you click on (for example, Reset Group Policy settings.bes) another window will open. Here, you can read a summary of the fixlet that was written by the author, see any reviews, # of downloads, and then download the fixlet.
