My community has a lot of documentation. Until now (while we’re on Facebook) it was on Google Docs with no explicit author.
We’re moving it to Discourse and I’m wondering who to set as the author of those topics. I wrote most of the documentation but it’s been revised by other people, specially when moving it over to Discourse.
Part of our audience is also veterinary professionals, for whom a « word-like document » that looks like a collective reference paper will possibly carry more weight than a “forum post by Stephanie” (even though the videos are very clearly me!)
My idea so far is to use a general “community admin” account as the author for this publications. I also looked into Page publishing but that also displays the author, even though I can probably hide it with CSS.
Has anybody else had to grapple with similar issues? What did you choose to do?
If you use a “general community admin” account in your community for this kind of use or any else, how did you name it? How do you present it?
Thanks for sharing your ideas and experiences.
