[osol-discuss] Re: Proposal: OpenSolaris Articles Project

[Sara Dornsife]

Solaris marketing recently releaseed two "How To Guides". This first is on Containers, the second is on DTrace. You can find them at: Solaris How-to-Guides can be found at: sun.com/solaris/reference_resources.jsp The first two pieces of the series are: -> "How to Consolidate Applications with Solaris Containers" sun.com/solaris/howtoguides/containersLowRes.jsp -> "How to use DTrace from a Solaris 10 System" sun.com/solaris/howtoguides/dtracehowto.jsp There are more to come and topics can be suggested. You'll notice that these aren't very technical. The are intended for a less technical audience than you guys, but we can use this format for articles or HowTo guides if we would like to. It is well thought out and easy to follow. Take a look and let me know what you think.

OpenSolaris Articles Project Now this is a really good idea ! . . . We could develop all kinds of community-wide content, including feature articles, community profiles, technical articles, commentaries, and Q&As. Over time, the project could expand the Articles page to include more multi-media content such as artwork, podcasts, screencasts, and videos. I suppose we'd need a list. How about [EMAIL PROTECTED]? Yes as well as an index to the content. May I suggest a format that is dirt simple to begin with and then migrate to some sort of content management system? That's it. What do you think? I think that the first thing to get onto the site, somewhere, is really simple HOWTO type docs for new users and new people in general. I mean really simple and in plain english. May I suggest the amazing installation manual that I started and never found time/energy/money to finish ? http://www.blastwave.org/dclarke/stuff/sol10/book.html Things like that. Dennis
