Re: New Xilinx forum.

Symon,

Well, all I can say, is that this is an attempt to improve our service.

As everyone here knows, c.a.f. is open to everyone, and anyone, and
there is no censorship (so most Xilinx employees will not post here).

It was felt that a true Xilinx sponsored forum might be beneficial -
allow direct communication.

Obviously, Peter and I feel a little odd, as we felt we were doing a
good job here on c.a.f. (Perhaps we are, but more is needed?).

More would be nice. The Xilinx website ain't the most user friendly
and fastest website. In fact, I try to avoid it if possible.

Okay, it is not so bad as NXP's website (which is about the worst
possible website). <rant> 'Let's make things better' didn't happen and
'sense and simplicity'... well they should get a dictionary... </rant>

But, in defense of those who feel that a "real Xilinx forum" has value,
I am going to advise folks to give it a try.

After all, if people use it, and find it valuable, then it serves a purpose.

If it is of no utility, it will die a natural 'Internet Death', and go away.

Take it as an opportunity. After all, there will be 'real' applications
engineers and hotline folks who will be monitoring this new forum (whose
job it is to make customers happy).

For every post here, I must consider my competition is reading every
word, and just waiting to pounce. That does not allow me the freedom
that some other forum might offer.

Austin

And what makes you so sure the competition is not reading Xilinx's own
forum? I bet the people from Altera and Lattice (to name some in
alphabetical order) already have their logins.
