improve communication of GK enhancements
fyi. sent this to GK support today. don't know whether this has been suggested to them
before. i suppose the downside is that GK support would get more questions asking about
what a particular enhancement means. also, sent another suggestion asking whether a
captains consensus on suggested improvements would be useful to them. will report back
if/when they respond.


hello GK support,
once in a while, GK will send an announcement of a major change to the entire membership (i
assume). small enhancements are not announced and often members don't hear about them
and discover them randomly.

why not maintain a 'site enhancements' forum and post brief descriptions of all changes (with
effective date) that affect the full membership or a segment of membership (such as team
captains). set it so non-GK administration cannot post there. then, send an announcement of
the existence of this forum to the membership and suggest they check in from time to time to
see what's new.

thank you.

this is great - i'll go through them! thanks heinzkat.

looks like you created the first one - a thread showing minor changes, maintained by members
and located in (site map>chess clubs>online forums>gameknot forum) and the second by
gameknot (site map>gameknot information>whats new on gameknot)

i guess GK support will point me to these two sources in response to my suggestion.

got the standard reply - will pass suggestion on to developers ...

i guess the screener wasn't aware of the two threads heinzkat mentioned since there was no "in
the meantime, why don't you check out ..."
