What is happening to the old distribution list contents?

We are slowing transferring that information into the community knowledge section of the knowledge base.

Is the community moderated?

Yes and no.

We have found through the old distribution list that the users of that group have self-moderated. Ideally we want to keep it that way, where the community moderates itself.

However, it is place of respect and any disrespect will not be tolerated, where the user at the discretion of AKIPS may have their access removed for a period of time or indefinitely.

Can I post code to the community?

Absolutely if you're a verified user, but remember it is on the Internet. So please remove anything that may identify anything you want to remain private.

Can I request features?

Absolutely if you're a verified user. There will be a feature request process added to the community.

Can I vote for things?

Not right now, but that feature will be added as we fix up our internal processes to handle it.

What if I have some old distribution threads that I would like to post to the community?

Absolutely, but remember it is on the Internet. So please remove anything that may identify anything you want to remain private.
