Dedicated Calibre Recipes subforum

krunk · 09-21-2010, 05:17 PM

I think it'd be very useful to have a dedicated Custom Recipes forum for Calibre where people could post their recipes, solutions, or requests.

The Calibre Recipe thread is quite long (187 pages) and tons of good information tends to get buried in the traffic.

Thanks for the great resource.

Cheers,

Can it be converted into a Wiki?

A Wiki page would be by far the best place for this type of information.

And for useful RegEx's too

A wiki would be a great edition, but I think a forum would be useful as well.

The wiki page could aggregate common solutions, FAQ's, or user recipes.

There are tons of (maybe most?) very forum type posts in the Calibre Recipe sticky as well. Such as "I'm not getting the behavior I expect with this recipe, could someone help?".

I think these types of support and help requests would be very forum appropriate.

The wiki page already exists:

we seem to keep having these discussions about stickies v wiki - without any definitive answers.
i would favour wiki, but there are voices against that idea.

no matter what it needs to be a single location where all the information can be collated, kept to date and all the back-slapping/clapping removed.

We have a forum titled "Custom Recipes" - will that be transferred ?

Hi Geoff, you mean the sticky thread? I am pretty sure. I contacted Kovid to see what solution he considers the best.
