With no disrespect to JBoss as a product, this idea of charging $10 for the docs is appalling marketing. There is a whole mind-set behind the idea of open-source software. Anyway it's all been gone over before. Just don't forget that as a developer I can always get weblogic for 90 days or websphere for 60 or whatever, and not have to pay a thing, and have the online docs available. How much revenue does it generate? 1000 a month? 5000 a month? It would have to at least 1,500 a month to make it worth it - that way it would support a developer and be worth the intangible cost of alienating developers who see it as a lame concept. Look at mysql - that's the way to do it. You get developers adding to the docs as well all the time, so as you rewrite them, you have the comments from them about exactly where you need to improve it. <a href="http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3826544#3826544";>View the original post</a> <a href="http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3826544>Reply to the post</a> ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
