[Displays better than CSE]

 
http://ForumGrouper.com was conceived during my evaluation of several open-source CMS solutions to provide a large number of cookie-cuter websites to small businesses.

Part of the evaluation required me to search the contents of a large number of forums to obtain end-user opinions about various open-source CMS solutions.

Also I posted many articles in several forums requesting opinions and information.

As I studied open-source CMS solutions more, I began to form questions about how to implement them.

I had questions about the topics listed below:

  • Databases
  • Web Servers
  • Networking
  • Computer Security
  • Application Performance
  • Software Development
  • Project Management
  • Source Control
  • Automated Testing
  • Backups/Recovery
  • Hosting
  • Outsourcing
  • Legal Issues
  • E-Mail Configuration
  • Business Operations
  • Internationalization.

During my quest for information, many of my questions were answered.

But I was also confronted by more questions as I learned more about my task.

And thus the idea behind http://ForumGrouper.com was born.

It is a simple web-based tool to build up my knowledge.

A collection of bookmarks and technical articles does not get the job done.

What I need is a data-store for my questions as I encounter them and then the answers which come from dogged detective work and interactions with communities.

My mastery of knowledge is a powerful skill.

My knowledge combined with both communication and imagination provides the fuel for my intelligence.

When I efficiently deploy my intelligence to solve problems, I thrive.

http://ForumGrouper.com is a tool for my mind to gather knowledge and combine it with communication.

You can use http://ForumGrouper.com in a couple of ways.

First you can treat it as a simple list of bookmarks.

Or you can register and then use it to both store and categorize your questions and the answers (and more questions!) which result.

Storage is an important feature. If you learn how to setup SSL in a Reverse-Squid-Proxy today, you don't want to relearn it a year from now.

You want that knowledge at your fingertips.

I guarantee that this second mode of behavior will boost your knowledge and probably your intelligence.

It is certainly more effective and fun than learning from books, technical articles and classrooms.
