Blog Ideas/Edgent Use Cases
Hi All,
I'm writing a series of articles for the Edgent blog. The goal is to have
one, or several, use cases to be walked through step-by-step. Edgent's
strength is in reducing the amount of streaming data sent over a network,
so my current blog idea is to walk through a "smart microphone" example
where a Raspberry Pi only transmits sound if the decibel level is above a
threshold.
But that's just one idea.
I want to invite the Edgent community to comment on possible Edgent use
cases. Hopefully, these could be used as the basis for future articles/blog
posts, and can serve as a way of drawing in new developers to the project.
How can Edgent be used?
-Will

Hadn’t thought of the wiki… I kinda like that more lightweight (non-PR) option!!!
Thoughts on how folks will be led to / discover that info?
Related, yesterday I was looking at the wiki and found some interesting internals/design info that I had never noticed before - or had forgotten about :-/ DEVELOPMENT.md seemed like a natural place to have a link to it but it doesn’t so not sure how someone might notice it.
It looks like the only link to the wiki might be from the Edgent landing page > Community > Wiki?
I didn’t notice anything to it on the documentation website in pulldowns along the top or on the left ???

The Edgent website seems to be a good place to put this. Once it is up on
the website, a blog entry can be created to announce its availability.

I’m interested to see what sort of things folks suggest.
Will, before embarking on a series of Blog posts, perhaps you could first try to address some of the “improve our message” items identified in [1] [2] ?
An another note, I want to create “An Introduction to Edgent by a Series of Small Examples”.
I have a discussion flow/progression and about 15 such examples already created
covering some of my favorite focal points.
I’m not sure what the best repository/venue would be for that.
- the Edgent website - something more than a collection of unrelated recipes I think.
Though maybe each example becomes a recipe and then there’s some higher
level doc tying them all together?
- a document (e.g., a .md file)&code that’s part of the source repo?
I’m not sure how it might relate to the “samples” that already exist in the repo.
- the Edgent Blog - perhaps more like doing one of the above an then just creating a blog entry announcing / referencing it.
Thoughts on the best way to deal with and expose it?
