Hey Stan, I've always thought of the Windows project as "OpenFabrics Windows", or OFW (like the TLA in the mailing list name). What about OFWED [O-fwed]for the "Enterprise Distribution"?
For the help docs, it would be cool to have them in help file format instead of HTML. There are tools to help author HTML help files. Here's a link to the MSDN page for the Microsoft HTML Help SDK: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/htmlhel p/html/vsconhh1start.asp Cheers, -Fab -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Smith, Stan Sent: Friday, March 16, 2007 4:32 PM To: Erez Cohen Cc: [email protected] Subject: [ofw] OpenFabrics Windows 1.0 release questions and thoughts Greetings, I wanted to talk about OpenFabrics Alliance Windows (OFAW?) release 1.0 topics in order to save some time at the next OFAW release meeting. DAPL status Testing of the 1.0.0.566 DAPL code has revealed no show-stopper operational issues. I will reduce the default DAT error level so as to reduce console noise. Additionally I'm adding some documentation for post_install validation using 'DAPLtest.exe'. OpenFabrics Alliance Windows release 1.0 A few thoughts on a single file installer features. After an OFAW install, I believe the newly created path should reveal the following items: Program Files -> OpenFabrics Windows 1.0 -> Release notes (in .html format) User's Manual (in .html) Manual offers a brief usage description of all OFW .exe commands OFAW Command Window (shortcut to %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe) starting up in the default OFAW install folder (%ProgramFiles%\OFAW). Idea here is to give the user's an easy link to where interesting OFAW user mode executables live. I'm willing to develop the user's manual which would describe or point to URLs which describe all user mode commands embodied in the OFAW release package. Would Mellanox be willing to allow use of text from your .msi install package 'user commands' documentation? What's your current thinking on the availability of a OpenFabrics Windows Release Candidate (RC0)? Is it reasonable to consider an RC sometime in March? What's your thinking on dates for the next OFW release meeting? Ok, last but not least - 'the release name' OpenFabrics Alliance Windows - OFAW #cumbersome but passable 'O'-faw ('aw' as in saw). OpenFabrics Windows - OFW # looks better, another 3-letter acronym (TLA), long form is a mouthful. Windows OpenFabrics - WOF # 'wof' as in woof, what dogs do. OpenFabrics Windows - OW # 'OW', 2-leter acronym, short form of 'ouch'. OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution Windows # OFEDW - OFED 'W'. What say you?
