Is there a version changelog?
-
Hi guys, is there a way to figure out what has changed between versions? When major or minor versions go up, there must be some kind of change. Maybe there a diff to look at on GitHub or elsewhere.

Hi @Andrei-Railean, we don't have a changelog yet, and it's something we've been wanting to put up for a while. However, for each console release, for example the one here: https://community.onion.io/topic/198/mega-omega-software-release, we do list out all the changes we have made.
We've just been swamped with work for the holiday season. We'll put up something for our Github repos in the new year!

Thanks @Boken-Lin
I think you guys should consider opening up this project a bit more and asking for community help with things, not try to do everything yourselves. You're doing a great job with the hardware and i presume a lot of time is going into trying to commercialise the service side of things and the app store. With only the 3 of you working on it, there's not much time left to work on documentation and helping the community get the most of their omegas.
As I understand it, success (velocity) of projects like this one is heavily dependent on community, transparency and docs/specs/guides. Personally, I think forums are a great place to interact, but not a great place for longer-term knowledge capture or as a "source of truth". Your wiki is kinda there, but it doesn't allow community participation or comments. Perhaps GitHub should play more of a role in helping community participate or resolve issues.

So long as it does not turn into Sourceforge. Started my python hobby programming and my first and last encounter with them, they are so "mightier then thee" in there responses.

@Boken-Lin @Andrei-Railean If it is of any assistance, I could spare some time to help with documentation if I had access to (copies of) the source documents.
I an currently "between jobs" and have a bit of time to spare - let me know if I can be of assistance

Hi @Andrei-Railean, Thank you very much for your comment. We have been trying to building up a community around the Omega, but we are pretty new at this, so your advices are very helpful.
Can you go into a bit more details on what kind of things we should do? For example, the source of the wiki is at https://github.com/OnionIoT/wiki, and we welcome anyone to modify/add stuff/send us pull request, etc. We probably didn't do a good job telling everyone about it. I will add a note to the wiki site to let everyone know that the wiki is modifiable.
@Rudy-Trujillo We'll do our best to avoid that
@Kit-Bishop: Thanks! You have been answering a lot of questions on the community as well! We do have a list of tutorials and documentation articles that's on our to-do list. It would be awesome if you can help us with some of them.

@Boken-Lin All good
What would be the best way to make contact without compromising too much information in an open forum? For your information, I have published an email address in my user profile - it's an address that I keep separate from my personal stuff to avoid risks of too much hacking

@Kit-Bishop Private messaging system or directly to my email at bl@onion.io.

@Boken-Lin All good - will be in touch soon
