i got a chuckle out of this since that was the "old" ganglia documentation. i wrote it in docbook and used to convert it to html/pdf and posted it to the website and distributions.
however, it was harder to maintain than a simple perlpod doc and some users said they wanted simpler and shorter docs. i also didn't want to require developers to learn docbook in order to write documentation... i'd like to get our wiki up and running soon and post all the old and new documentation to a documentation wiki. there are so much nice documentation pages out there for ganglia e.g. <http://www-941.ibm.com/collaboration/wiki/display/WikiPtype/ganglia> that should be highlighted on the ganglia documentation page. thanks for the feedback On Fri, 2007-01-19 at 07:39 -0500, Joshua Colvin wrote: > Thanks for the find, that is some great documentation! > > > On Thu, 2007-01-18 at 18:45 -0800, Brendan O'Connor wrote: > > Hey, just a minor point (I couldn't find a webmaster email address on > > http://ganglia.info so here goes). > > > > The documentation page, http://ganglia.info/docs/ , only lists the README > > and the gmond.conf manual pages.
