Can you please sumarize what we will find in the HackZone as our community grows? From browsing the site we get a fair idea of what the HackZone is but it might be good to note something for the less adventurous browsers who visit. Links to key places on the main website might also be good to have within the forums.
Good question. Essentially, HackZone is the way to contribute to Nexenta OS. i.e. the way to upload new packages and put some fixes to an existing ones. It is heavily Subversion-based solution. At this early stage developers need to know how Subversion works. HackZone Interfaces are not there yet, but we are working on it. The Interfaces should simplify developers interoperability in the future. Read more on HackZone at: http://www.gnusolaris.org/gswiki/HackZone http://www.gnusolaris.org/gswiki/HackZoneInterfaces Also we have some initial document describing on how to start HackZone interaction: http://www.gnusolaris.org/gswiki/Getting_Started_for_Developers Please note, all these documents are pretty much work in progress and are open for edit for everybody, until we stabilize the procedure. Ubuntu project uses proven ftp upload schema which is simpler than HackZone but creates its own difficulties. What we have in mind is to create set of Nexenta HackZone tools which should simplify HackZone upload process over time. But nothing stops developers to request HackZoneEntry today and start committing new packages. Granted, since HackZone development in progress right now, developers should try interact via gnusol-devel@ mailing list and NBTS.
