== Issue: new users download dev snapshot by mistake ==
+
== Issue: OS X should be macOS ==
  
I have seen many people, who use Windows x64, are completely new to Mumble and download the development snapshot, without knowing that his is not recommended for new users.
+
OS X has been renamed to macOS since 2016. Should the download list reflect that?
Please make it more clear for newbies, that they should download the stable version.
+
 
Possible solutions:

--[[User:Eldy|Eldy]] ([[User talk:Eldy|talk]]) 06:46, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
* Remove the dev snapshot links from the table and move them to a sub page.
+
 
* Make an optical difference between links to the stable and the dev snapshot.
+
== Make sure the new website homepage feature list is not missing useful links ==
* In the row of Windows x64, in the column Stable, place a link to 1.2.9 or use a row-span between the table cells.

Our wiki homepage had this block with more links. They may not be useful though, or should be less prominent than a full-text-line-link.

Revision as of 16:08, 1 June 2020

Note: Solved/Implemented suggestions will be removed. Add new headline for new topic. Indent replies through colons ':'.

Add this video on main page

This video or similar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv5Pmab4K6E / http://gcguild.net/movie/ventrilo-vs-teamspeak-vs-mumble People must know the difference!

It will not land on the mainpage. Could be added to a different page on this wiki though, that talks about latency/latency comparison. -Kissaki 14:29, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Issue: OS X should be macOS

OS X has been renamed to macOS since 2016. Should the download list reflect that?

--Eldy (talk) 06:46, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Make sure the new website homepage feature list is not missing useful links

Our wiki homepage had this block with more links. They may not be useful though, or should be less prominent than a full-text-line-link.

For Users

For Administrators

For Hosters

  • Free software - no licensing hassle or cost
  • Automatable administration through Ice middleware
  • Low resource cost for hosting
  • Very stable server software
  • Free choice of server software
  • Custom webinterfaces for users through Ice
  • Provide users with channel viewer data (CVP) without giving control away
    • Or empower the users by providing the Ice interface




blablub

some text as filler to get the layout right

Google captcha

Imo the google captcha is annoying, wouldn't it be enough to show it just once in the beginning? Or at least just sometimes?

Timeline for change being applied to Upstream public wiki is too long

I noticed that changes to the public wiki are applied very slowly. Can't that be a little faster? At least changes made by Members of the team or even "trustful" users could be applied faster imo.

Add link to audio page

You might consider linking to the audio page in the section for the client. For clarity it should be named Audio Options.
