Talk:Patrick's Proposal to Standardize Platforms
Spot on. Every workplace with multiple terminals maintains a strict and standard database structure. One of the biggest mini-mission and training hurdles is the damn multitude of different versions of all the software. It should all be archived if not wiped. But I would go much further than you. I would stick everything currently on the machines into a folder called "Archives". Then I would create a standard procedure for naming folders -- something involving the current date, probably. I would put all of those into a folder called "Text Files". Creating more folders would be strictly prohibited on pain of having to clean the Sim Office. Whether or not you automate this, I think it really needs to be done and I'm happy to see you're talking about it. 100% Stamp of Approval, plus I'll help when I'm next in town. - Darth Wombat (talk) 04:00, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
