      BSA requirements

      Wow.  I feel like I've had high school flashbacks ... Just my preference ... PDF can be organized into a nice on-line library.   Ascii and Web pages make for poor organization.  Just my preference.     Only My opinions ... ... PDFs ... Professional?  Yes.  Can very much be so.  Can easily look like a professionally published document. ... Hyperlinks are ASCII ... Yes, but not clickable and not easy to use in an ASCII doc.   ... Eagle workbook.  Uniquely difficult in BSA because of the extra complexity of an editable PDF.   Basic PDFs are well integrated into most all phones, computers, web browsers now.

      BSA requirements

      By qwazse · Posted

      What's "real" these days? Print? Does my registration fee pay for the ink and paper that I'd need? Illustrations are not requirements. Professional? Like the Project Workbook that many scouts have trouble loading on to their devices? I get nervous any time someone asks BSA to doll anything up. More importantly, this is a game with a purpose. And, like a game FAQ, it needs to be rapidly scroll-able. The requirement's file should be minimal so that it can be comprehensive. All hyperlinks are ASCII. (Well, technically, everyone has gone UTF-8 ... and doing so might aid language translation services.) Plain text is amenable to free-form search and if it uses tags, standard apps can read it and generate the TOC, and image links. We're talking about the base file from which all other material is drawn. The pretty pictures of all the patches aren't going to go away. They just won't be a distraction for anyone who wants to scan a large volume of data quickly. Full disclosure: I do save all of my output for work as .pdf if possible. But our product is tables and charts, so formatting goes a long way in communicating to others, including my future self. The only down-side is when I want to machine-read some output, then ASCII is my friend once again.

      I prefer PDF documents as it effectively looks and feels like a book.  Professional.  Illustrations.  Cover page.  Index.  Table of contents.  Cross references.  Searchable.  Most importantly, printable into a real document.

      Lots of old names in this thread, back when Scouter.com was a lot more "interesting"...I know Old Grey Eagle is now with the Great Master of all Scouts.  I miss the old days.
