New Portal features: Comments on documentation and profile additions

Hi all,

I just wanted to give you a heads-up on a couple of interesting features we included in the most recent Customer Portal update.

Comments on documentation

As most users of this community will know, most content on this website - whether it's knowledgebase solutions, videos or technical articles - includes the ability for Red Hat subscribers to leave comments and discuss. You can provide feedback, ask questions, request improvements, or leave tips for other users. Up until now, this feature was missing from some of our most-used content: the product documentation itself. So, we're fixing that! Starting with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Beta documentation which is available now, you'll be able to add comments to every section of the Red Hat docs. These comments will be reviewed by the authors and experts on our documentation team, so you can be sure that any time you reach out to us with a question on this content, you'll get the answer you need as quickly as possible.

Profile improvements

We're continuing to expand the information you can include in your Portal user profile and you'll find you can now add a bio, list the Red Hat software you have an interest in, and select the industry you work in. These are just the start of the improvements we're making to the Portal profile and you'll see more of these updates in coming releases, but feel free to start filling out your profile. Including more information will help to guide you to the resources you need and help you connect up with other Portal users who share your interests.

Let us know what you think
