I'm not going to lie, GHI has a much better community. Why?

1. Trained experts supporting new comers VERY well.
2. A very reliable Gadgeteer production.
3. Many members can show their custom made parts.
4. Their "Codeshare" is a brillient place for Drivers.
5. Though not as open source, good structure and gameplan.

I hope we can all learn from this.

What should we learn?

It seems to me that, especially on the "hot" Netduino era, this forum was plenty of enthusiast people. Also many of them were experiencing the Netduino forum as a "big family", full of warmful users.

 

Gadgeteer, in my mind, is a flop. Nothing more than a flop.

My philosophy endorses the KISS principle: http://en.wikipedia..../KISS_principle

The Arduino board boomed because its simplicity, as the same was for Netduino...

 

Many projects created on Netduino are still alive and used even on other platforms: why do you say the users "didn't show their parts"?

If you mean about hardware, I may agree, but it's not because the forum, but because the users. Honestly speaking I often see users refusing to learn a bit of electronics...what else?

 

The problem isn't Netduino, but MS which almost dropped the MF project. That's a big blame, at least in my opinion.

MS dropping MicroFramework ? That just not good

I do not think Chris would do that. He always encourage users to build things more better. And even if he did, there could be a reason. Why not send him a message and ask.

Hey Juzzer, we love what you're doing with Netduino and NETMF. Thanks so much for sharing.

Netduino is all about building great things together, sharing and showing off our accomplishments.

As a general rule, we don't censor things here unless we get complaints or unless posts seem like advertisements. We just ask that folks keep things civil and support each other which is generally not a problem.

There are communities out there for people who want to tear others down; that's not you, and that's not us...so we're all good

And Microsoft did not drop the Framework. They just redid their site and created a new series of releases for later releases of VS.

Juzzer's watch actually seems cool. I''d kickstart it.

Oh and Chris, I'd like you to try find some ways to make everything a single standard. I'm pulling my hair out getting a simple LCD to work from Fabien's NP1 to my N2. If there's a netduino 3, stick to chips that are VERY similar because I hate having to read schematics to find the correct SPI module.
