The answer to this discussion thread would in my opinion be:


How do we design, manage and maintain the omnios public documentation?

I believe that is a project to take seriously...


Johan





To reply and add to my own opinon, I'd like to continue with:

I'd believe it is OmniTI that has the possibility to start a project around a subject like this. The discussion about it should of coarse be here, on omnios-discuss, but I believe OmniTI should tell us which infrastructure solutions that would be possible to provide for it.

 If OmniTI can provide appropriate infrastructure, I believe the community can provide content.

The mantainance of the solution will of coarse be of great importance, and will of coarse also need man hours, and how this should be done, is a matter of this community to discuss...

Johan

Theo already jumped in on this point, but both he and Frédéric are absolutely right.  Of course!  We don't grow without newbies.  We should treat them with kindness, respect,  a willingness to help, and a willingness to lead by example (esp. w.r.t. not doing things stupidly).

OmniOS provides the traditionally-managed general-purpose OS distribution of Illumos. As someone here told me upon my joining, "We're the promise OpenSolaris was supposed to be."

BTW, don't take this thread as an opportunity to spew on any other OS or distro, especially other illumos ones.  I won't have it.

I do believe, and someone here mentioned this to me offline, that we might need to promote OmniOS a bit more.  I'm not sure how best to do that, modulo people like the folks here telling their managers, friends, and customers about how OmniOS, quite simply, Helps You Solve Problems.

If we need more docs because it will attract people to OmniOS and help it grow, I'm all for it.  Specific examples of what people think will help are appreciated.

Dan
