Rebrand to improve Basis community identity

[JPReyes]

I have been a member of the SAP Developer Network (now SCN) for over 5 years, I landed here as a most people do because I had questions and SCN provided the answers I needed. Got hooked into the community and been an active contributor since then.

 

During the last few years I seen the community develop and the forums grow in both member size and categories but there is one thing that hasn’t changed. As a Basis consultant I found that is hard for users (new and old) to find a forum that they completely identify with mainly because the naming is vague.

 

Let me explain myself, currently Basis questions are been posted in several forums, none of them make direct reference to Basis in either title or description.

Enterprise Resource Planning (SAP ERP)

Performance and Scalability

SAP NetWeaver Technology Platform

SAP NetWeaver Administrator

SAP NetWeaver Application Server

SAP NetWeaver Application Server

Without including the /community [original link is broken]

I think rebranding SAP Netweaver Administrator as "Basis General" and consolidating some of the above forums should make the confusion go away, increase usability and give the Basis Community a space that they can directly identify with.

The new branding will bring clarity and make the area easier to moderate increasing the quality of the content

 

For this I created an entry in the Idea Place
