Introduction
Each week I plan to publish another article on suggestions for making this APM Community much richer. So far, the following blogs have been published:

Linking Overview

 

Definition of APM  Information Linking: Providing a connection via a URL address to an information resource containing APM technical details.

 

It happens every day when someone seeks an answer to an APM technical question. What do they do? They query search engines, this Community, ask their acquaintances etc. And sometimes they come back with little success.

 

As a next step, they open a support case or pose a question on the Community. Then it may be the situation that, a response is given along with one or more community, document, and knowledge links.

 

We should make it easier to find this key APM information the first time. One way is creating content in this Community and other sites adding important links. Thus making it more likely to find in a search engine.

 

Here are just a few suggestions:


- Adding new links to this Community using the Bookmark feature . (Looks like a globe.) This is being underutilized.
- Creating the best of the APM Community links on your internal sites.
- Create Discussion Items in this Community called "My 10 Favorite Links on APM Performance (or a topic of interest.)"
- Create a Discussion Item with your APM "Money" (High Value) Links
- Create a Discussion Item on my favorite Knowledge Docs in underdocumented, emerging, or release-specific areas

- Use Your Imagination!!!

 

Your Turn
What else do you do for APM linking/knowledge internally/externally?
Please share your experiences so we all can learn and grow from them. Thank you in advance.
