minivin Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Just thinking, as I was stripping my 109 FFR I took loads of photo's of where all the standard kit was fitted, would it be of use if I created a few tech archives of these photo's and info for anyone else that may need them in the future? shout if you think it's a good idea?!

dasterdly Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 eveing, i think its an exellent idea, if all the pics and info can be placed in a rar/zip file, maybe people could download it ? or possibly onto cd ? cheers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 good idea, will have a think about how I can do it, think middle of next week I may find some time to start putting something together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 we have a tech archive for this any entries are always welcome the new moderator on here will be able to move any posts/upload attatchments for members to peruse. the tech archive can then be kept on topic and relevant.

minivin Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 well if it's going to be put into a generic technical archive when all the content will be only interested to one small group of people, it'll only get lost in there. I doubt anybody looking to find how a 24V FFR generator cable was routed would think "oh, it won't be in the Military forum, best go to the tech forum!". Aint got the time until I go on holiday to sort my archive, so will have to wait till I'm back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 well the new mod can decide but the topic can be left in the section and a link in the tech archive that way the forum maintains one tech archive only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Brock Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I think it's a great idea to put together for someone who forgot where a bit goes , and for those with a box of bits and not a clue what goes where, a photo is worth a thousand words Best place eventually for it would be in the Tech Archive, once it falls off the bottom of the page, it would be found in a search anyway and with the effort taken to produce it would be a shame to lose it in the passage of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 I think since the opinion seems to be that it will be plonked in the generic tech archive that I'll go do the bits on the EMLRA site first as they have dedicated sections for the different systems. Once I've got the archives built over there I'll look into copying the stuff over or providing links Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 No it won't get "plonked " anywhere a link to it can be added to the tech archive, it will remain where ever it is posted as do other topics in the tech archive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Whenever I do a tech thread Rob, it gets copied to the tech archive and not moved. That way there's a copy on the forum as well as in the archive. All archive stuff is indexed, so is easy to find. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 yup sounds the way to go, I found the Series MIL parts catelogue so I'm going to host that in a bit and see if it will ZIP and RAR ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
