Appeal to the Community: New Getting Started Guides

Post Body

Hello /r/OSVR!

As many of you may have noticed, the sidebar and stickied getting started guides are quite a bit out of date. There have been several changes to the products mentioned, and new pieces of software that have come out since the stickied guides were last updated.

Thus, the moderators of /r/OSVR would like your help in creating or linking to new resources for the community. These may include:

  • Suggestions for new sidebar content/links
  • A new "Getting Started with the HDK Guide"
    • This would either be a new guide with instructions for setting up the HDK (with distinct instructions for 1.x vs 2.0, where necessary) OR it could simply be a link to a well-maintained guide available elsewhere, such as on OSVR-Docs. If the community could maintain such a guide on OSVR-Docs, that would be more ideal than a separate Reddit guide.
  • Last known stable versions of core and plugin
  • Most common troubleshooting tips
  • Wiki page updates (You can do these any time! Please do!)
  • Links to playlists of the most helpful and up-to-date YouTube videos
  • Other useful information for inclusion in the sidebar/stickies

These resources can be all their own items, or could be bundled together as appropriate. Ideally, we would want ONE sticky for "Getting Started", troubleshooting, etc., while reserving the other sticky for actual news.

Please let us know your thoughts so we can make /r/OSVR a more valuable resource for all OSVR users and enthusiasts!


For anyone who was looking for the old guide, it can be found here: Getting Started with the OSVR HDK: What To Do and How To Do It

This post will be allowed to float for a few days, and will then replace the above guide as a sticky.
