What's your preference? One (quite) long review publication, or a shorter one along with some discussions here?

Hello,

As I'm currently reviewing the RedPitaya 125-14 Pro Gen 2 starter kit, I write down notes along the way so as not to forget anything when the time comes to write down the official roadtest review.

In that particular instance, those notes are starting to make for quite a lot with currently 6 A4 pages and I'm not over yet.

Sure, some will be summarized, some are contradicted with later findings and won't even be mentioned in the final report, but still it's a lot of material and I'm wondering what you people would prefer:

  • One lengthy roadtest review report
  • One shorter "quick overview and final opinion report" alongside a few forum discussions that each focus on an aspect of the board that I tested

In the past, I always did just one lengthy document but this time, I wondering if it wouldn't be too much to read at once. But then, all in one place is easier to find compared to information scattered across multiple pages.

What do you think?

  • Hi,

    If you're creating many separate posts, it's almost always far better to use 'blogs' to create them, rather than 'discussions'.

    I've found it's almost always never worth using discussions unless it is a short question being asked, or just a link or other extremely small snippet of info being given. Discussions are very hard to find afterwards, whereas Google maybe searches out blogs better.

    Maybe I'm wrong on this, but my experience has been I've always regretted discussions because the interesting topics end up being expanded a bit more or people will provide interesting information in the responses, and then it's hard to find afterwards when it's a discussion rather than a blog.
