The model for the book and documentation is that we are going to only support the professional documentation.
Free documentation is just too hard, the guys who write it usually do it and leave, it comes under heavy criticism still today (see theserverside.com thread) and generally has been a pain. I have had enough of it. We are going to a model where you pay for the documentation, the free doco is just going to die. I don't think I will even distribute it any more. Take Dain's stuff, you can use the product for free but if you want the documentation for it you are going to pay $5 for Dain's documentation, same for the clustering you are going to be paying for Sacha's documentation. All the features are there in the free product but if you want the documentation we are going to sell it for a fee. Most of the money goes to the writter of the feature (i don't want 3rd party writting doco and making money of it) I want doco from the guy who writes the features. simple, will work, is already working, we are selling. "The meal is free, the service is not included" This is a simple way to make some money FOR THE DEVELOPERS OF THE FEATURES and grow professionally. If the guys reading the statement are too cheap to shell out $10 for the documentation I am really not going to worry about them, I am not very concerned about them. In fact I want them gone, marcf |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Luke |Taylor |Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 6:27 PM |To: jboss-development |Subject: Book.
