## Next Steps for Michael
|
||||
|
||||
### Immediate (This Week)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Answer the 5 Key Questions** in `05-QUESTIONS-AND-ACTION-ITEMS.md`:
|
||||
- Timeline needs (2 weeks or 4-6 weeks?)
|
||||
- Time commitment (2 hours/week for feedback?)
|
||||
- Hosting budget ($0, $10-20, or more?)
|
||||
- Team size (how many users?)
|
||||
- Branding (personal, company, or generic?)
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Document 2-3 Troubleshooting Scenarios** (Start with these):
|
||||
- Citrix VDA Not Registering
|
||||
- FSLogix Profile Issues
|
||||
- Active Directory Replication Failure
|
||||
|
||||
Use the template in `05-QUESTIONS-AND-ACTION-ITEMS.md`
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Provide Sample Ticket Notes**
|
||||
- Copy/paste an example of how you currently document troubleshooting
|
||||
- This helps design export formats that match your workflow
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Review All Docs**
|
||||
- Read through everything
|
||||
- Add comments/questions/ideas directly in the markdown files
|
||||
- Flag anything unclear or that you disagree with
|
||||
|
||||
### This Weekend (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
- Start collecting documentation links you reference frequently
|
||||
- Think about client context for Warner Robins (server names, etc.)
|
||||
- List your PowerShell scripts that might integrate later
|
||||
- Brainstorm names for the tool
|
||||

## Tips for Reviewing in VS Code
|
||||
|
||||
### Useful Extensions
|
||||
- **Markdown All in One** - Preview, formatting, shortcuts
|
||||
- **Markdown Preview Enhanced** - Better preview with more features
|
||||
- **GitLens** (if we add version control) - Track changes
|
||||
|
||||
### Keyboard Shortcuts
|
||||
- `Ctrl+Shift+V` - Open markdown preview
|
||||
- `Ctrl+K V` - Open preview side-by-side
|
||||
- `Ctrl+F` - Find in file
|
||||
- `Ctrl+Shift+F` - Find in all files
|
||||
|
||||
### Making Notes
|
||||
You can either:
|
||||
1. Add comments directly in the markdown (I can read them)
|
||||
2. Create a new file: `MICHAEL-NOTES.md` with your thoughts
|
||||
3. Use VS Code's comment feature (highlight text, right-click)
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Questions While Reading?
|
||||
|
||||
Just add them anywhere in the docs like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
> **MICHAEL'S QUESTION:** What if the tree has more than 20 steps?
|
||||
> Won't that be too long?
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or create a `QUESTIONS.md` file with all your questions in one place.

## Remember
|
||||
|
||||
This is YOUR tool. Everything in these documents is a proposal based on our conversation. If something doesn't feel right:
|
||||
|
||||
- Question it
|
||||
- Change it
|
||||
- Suggest alternatives
|
||||
- Tell me why it won't work
|
||||
|
||||
The goal is to build something that actually solves your problem, not to follow a perfect plan that doesn't work in reality.
