<div dir="ltr">Hi Peter!<div><br></div><div>This list is quasi-indexed by Google, but only because Google is indexing other websites (mailing list archives) which are archiving the messages. My favorite way to search the list is <a href="https://cisco-voip.markmail.org/">https://cisco-voip.markmail.org/</a></div><div><br></div><div>However, I was painting a picture of a single source of knowledge sharing, one that just happens to also be indexed by Google. A place where most new people will likely land first. A place where reputation building (via voting, ranking and awards) can happen. Oh, and by the way, Cisco is willing to reward you with real cash value via the VIP program; something I have achieved 5 times now.</div><div><br></div><div>I don't keep a running total, but if I had to estimate it, I've been awarded approximately $20,000 of value (e.g., cisco live passes) for my contributions on the forums over the years.</div><div><br></div><div>Now, don't let me fool you into thinking I'm against all other communication channels. I know that there's value in a distributed system, so I do use quite a few. Some of you may even know me as <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/ez4me2c3d">ez4me2c3d</a> on reddit. Some of you see me in Teams spaces chatting it up there. Not too mention my participation on this list over the years.</div><div><br></div><div>But that doesn't mean I cannot have a favorite amongst the bunch. ;)</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Dec 26, 2020 at 2:06 PM Peter Slow <<a href="mailto:peter.slow@gmail.com">peter.slow@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">A.

I struggle with it too. If I had it my way, everything would just be on the Cisco forums, being indexed by Google. Think of people trying to come up in their career and how distributed the knowledge is. Cisco Docs, Cisco Forums, Mailing Lists, Training Sites (pluralsight, cbt nuggets, etc.), Reddit (and other random sites about voip), Webex Teams spaces, Slack, Discord, Twitter, YouTube, etc. And yes, I have a connection to Cisco collaboration on every one of those platforms. I just prioritize some over others, and that might mean that I only check Twitter like every 2 weeks or something like that.</div><div><br></div><div>Maybe this distributed nature of information, knowledge, and communication is necessary?
