Stuart Douglas commented on JBSEAM-4585:
----------------------------------------

Something that most other programming forums seem to do is display post count / some kind of rating next to a users post. I think that this is a good idea for two reasons:

- It helps beginners identify the posters that are more experienced
- It provides recognition for people that have spent a lot of time helping people out in the forums

We already have a star system, but the information does not really show up anywhere.

> As part of an initiative to improve the experience for new and existing developers, community members getting involved with Seam and Weld, I am documenting a set of improvements to be made to the current state user-facing http://seamframework.org and related documentation.
> This task serves as a running list of inconsistencies, improvement areas, and erroneous information provided on SWFK.org (and related.)
> ==INCOMPLETE==
> * http://seamframework.org/Community/GettingStartedDevelopingTheSeamFramework -- page still references version 2.0 of Seam for new development, which is now a lie
> * http://seamframework.org/Download/SeamDownloads#H-SeamSVNRepository contains repo URLs that are now broken for SCM checkout.
> *** No clear place to get started using CDI/Weld/EE6 functionality - Persistence, Transactions, CDI, all need clear getting started information and tutorials.
> *** No good documentation about the Seam portlet bridge, which is a closely related project. Should add visible links.
> ***It is currently impossible to subscribe for email notifications of new comments or changes on a thread unless you are the author. This is a major limitation of the seamframework.org software.
> ** Need a better knowledge base, with integrated code snippets - people need use-case driven examples, sample apps aren't enough
> ** Should provide a guided tour to "get started with seam" - this is almost a reality, but the level of knowledge required to succeed is too high.
> ** Should provide a maven archetype for seam, or provide a link to one if it exists already -- this information is currently hidden or unavailable.
> ==COMPLETED==
> * Too hard to find JIRA links -- added JIRA links to sidenav -- Lincoln Baxter
