Free and Open Source Tools: Public Permissions?
Posted: Sun Feb 28, 2021 8:10 pm
Hey Mods,
The new Free and Open Source Tools section is awesome - thank you for putting that together! I agree, it definitely helps keep things organized and helps to redirect traffic to the right places.
The only thing I've noticed is that this new section does not appear to be publicly accessible. Most of the time I check the forum without logging in, and I've found that the FOSS section is completely inaccessible. Is this by design, or is it possible to open it up to visitors that don't have an account? I redirect traffic to forum postings from time to time, and having it locked behind an account may make it a bit more difficult for an average visitor (or forum lurker) to see some of the different tools available.
Aside from that, love the new page! Thanks again for setting it up!
