Coming in late to an old thread.
I was looking around at the Hadoop documentation (hadoop.apache.org and
wiki.apache.org/hadoop) and I'd sum up the current state of the
documentation as follows:
1. hadoop.apache.org is pretty clearly full of technical information.
My only minor nit here is that the wiki pointer and the Git pointer
at the top is really tiny.
2. wiki.apache.org is simultaneously targeted to at least four audiences
1. Industry Users (broadest sense of Big Data Industry)
2. Industry Developers (mostly those adding a layer like Hive does
to MapReduce)
3. Hadoop Users (those who just want to set up a small cluster)
4. Hadoop Developers (e.g. using MapReduce APIs)
5. Hadoop Internal Developers (eventual contributors)
I'd like to initiate some cleanup of the wiki, but before I even start,
I'd like to see if anyone has constructive suggestions or other
approaches that would make this transition smoother.
1. Some sections, like Industry Users and Industry Developers is
growing so fast, I'm not sure whether it's worth maintaining in any
meaningful format. I'd be inclined to make suggestions on where to
start and let Google take them forward from there.
2. Organize the developer section based on the pieces a new reader
wants to learn (new to everything, new to Hadoop, all the tools for
Hadoop development, "just check out code and go", etc).
3. Organize the Users section a bit more. The "Setting up a Hadoop
Cluster" is grouped well, but I'd perhaps rearrange the ordering a bit.

I think we should try to keep ownership over the #hadoop channel (do we
have ownership?) but make it clear on the website and in the channel
greeting that this is for user-on-user discussion, and it's not actively
monitored by developers.

I'm not using the IRC channel (#hadoop at irc.freenode.net.)
I'm using slack (hadoopdev.slack.com) instead.

I've never gone there either. +1 for retiring.

I seldom check out IRC (as my experience was the same). I'm OK with
retiring it if no committers are around.
On a related note, I know Tsuyoshi set up a slack channel for the
committers. Even that one is pretty idle. :) Should we use it more
often?
If that starts to gain traction, we could set up a more open room for
users
as well.

Recently, Andrew Wang and I were at an academic conference where one of
the
attendees (a grad student) was mentioning that his posts to the IRC
channel
are never answered.
Personally, I haven't been using the IRC channel. Neither do I know
anyone
who is actively monitoring it.
I am emailing to check:
1. Are there folks actively monitoring the IRC channel and answering
questions?
2. If there is no one, should we consider retiring the channel?
Thanks
