Forgive the strange quoting, but I don't have a good mail reader at the moment.

I would recommend that people don't focus on the Wiki only. What are going to do if cfengine makes your Internet gateway die and you're stuck off the net? Or maybe you're having problems during a business recovery and it has to do with CFengine and you've no network yet? Or what if you're on the plane to Rio de Janero and need something to read? >>> David Douthitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02/18/05 12:18PM >>> True, the documentation should get you going, but, unless you want the document to grow bigger than cfengine, it can't address all the problems that might come up. The wiki (which should be mentioned in the documents) can provide a resource where people could share their problems/solutions for getting up and running with cfengine. Also, the wiki could be an initial draft of future documentation. As interesting information is added to the wiki that appears to be highly needed, it can be replicated into the documentation. This, of course, depends on how many contributors you get for the wiki. >>> David Douthitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02/18/05 12:18PM >>> As for the docs, it sounds like a "What Do I Do Now?" section would be good - an after install section. >>> David Douthitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02/18/05 12:18PM >>> Actually, the documents should probably also have an "install" section. You might say that, if the person is reading the document, then he's probably already installed cfengine. However, there are many places (including cfengine.org) where the documents are posted and a new user might find this information useful even before he's downloaded cfengine. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
