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:

> **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.
