Dear all,
I was just approached by Daniel Ritter of Xylem/Sontek. He wondered if it was ok to post firmware updates etc to the forums.
I personally don’t see any issues with this. Do you all think its ok?
Should I perhaps add manufacturer specific subsections of the forums?
Something like Forum/Manufacturers/Sontek
And then continue with TRDI, HR Wallingford, Nivus etc.I dont want to draw focus from the general ADCP/ADCP subsections of discharge measurements, but I think firmware updates etc are better handled away from general questions regarding the respective tech.
What do you think?

I think having manufacturers post is a good thing provided they are not promoting or advertising. However, firmware upgrades and/or new features, instruments, software, etc. would be of interest to everybody. I don’t have an opinion on whether it needs to be in a separate subsection. If you do a new subsection I don’t know that I would break it down more the Manufacturers. Too many subsections require too many clicks to see the latest from everybody. I would rather just look in Manufacturers to see all manufacturer posts rather than having to click on each company.

Manufacturers are welcome, and like Dave says (and all probably agree on) no promoting or advertising.
Except posts this: “TRDI would like to announce that we have released the StreamPro2. It is the size of a pencil and measures from 0-10 meters”. (Announcing new instruments and new software, as long as they manage to stay on the right side of “no advertising”)
I think that for now, we should not have any more subsections.
If use of the forums really takes off, we could add subsections later on.
