I'd like to reflect about the structure of the advanced solution guide. I think of three basic sections to separate all cfengine solutions: 1) A beginners' guide which covers low level topics (i.e. file copy, in file editing, process control). I know there are several guides and good cookbooks out there which are a good starting point for beginners. But sometimes it is helpful to read the same instructions, just written in other words. 2) Section two is a collection towards a reliable cfengine infrastructure. Solutions in this section could cover version control, internal processes, staging, monitoring and how to set up a scalable infrastructure. This solutions guide is aimed at admins who consider using cfengine in their company. The cfengine forum can be used in addition to discuss about best practices. 3) Section three is a general solutions guide covering advanced topics and special solutions. This is a collection for any idea or implementation cfengine users come up with. If there are special solutions about a specific kind of software, tags should be used to simpify searching. Maybe it's a good idea to use cfengine classes as tags to identify what a solution is about. If there is a defined class like "oracle::" or "apache.linux::" every reader knows immediately what the solution is about. Are there any more ideas how to create a structure that satisfies both contributers and readers? _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
