Well that could be still the case (I mentioned it at #freenet-es and some other channel (#freenet-se?) when I saw it) but wasn't the thing I wanted to point at. The install sections (e.g. QuickStart) sometimes explain how things were done with older installers. Now some things have changed: - - we use a new java based installer, which provides different options than the older one (e.g. no extended or poweruser mode) - - does running another freenet node during install cause problems anymore? (worked well for me, during a test install) but this is a minor issue. - - we do have a install wizard (http://127.0.0.1:8888/wizard/) and a full featured config-page so as long as the node starts up properly we probably don't want to edit the freenet.ini by hand (we could provide the corresponding option in the freenet.ini for advanced users though but we don't want to make this the default procedure as it's likely to produce errors) - - has someone tested the offline installer recently? I tried it with the steps and installer provided some weeks ago, but it failed there's probably more but I don't remember and I didn't go through all the pages. Somethings I just fixed on the go (e.g. install java on ubuntu systems on the Prerequisites) but I would appreciate it if someone had a look at it because 1. I'm German and although I think I can make myself understood I'm not a native speaker and might have got some things wrong (doesn't look nice if the first thing you see is a mistake) 2. my system is localized to the German language (I don't mean freenet, that is easily changed on the go, but my OS) so I can only guess what some dialogue boxes say in English I think if we keep the wiki and website up to date and do some walkthrough tests once in a while we will significantly reduce traffic on the IRC and therefore have less work. Also if one information is outdated (like for example the install section) people tend to think other parts of the site aren't up to date too (e.g. the whole "how freenet works" stuff, which usually is being kept up to date) and stop reading, which leads to even more questions on IRC. This is not a problem _now_ but if we really get slashdotted or announced in some other well visited tech-site (which _will_ happen if we release a Beta or even a 0.7.0) people will come and ask questions (or even worse don't ask them and uninstall immediately) and if they hit our channel and it's very crowded in there and everyone asks the same questions (just because of wrong manuals) they will get pissed off (sorry for the wording) (and we will get pissed off too). So in general we need a more up to date documentation because RTFS (read the f***ing source) is not an option, especially not when it comes to installing an app and get it running. regards Neo at NHNG -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHn6PHPUBAMhFf+J4RAmpGAKClD8lrsAVZ2QQBnTz0XmkE4a4dggCglUm3 HZTWQr0iu61/1jD7bK/oauI= =uMxk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
