Over time we'll surely need more user content to address this issue. But I'm not in favor of creating something new until we've exhausted what we already have. Also, I don't see anyone offering a big pile of resources at the moment. :) I'd much rather we use what we have and evolve as needed. There's no reason why we can't write and link to all the user content we need right now. I started a thread in Advocacy along these lines: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/advocacy-discuss/2008-January/001566.html. We already have 60 user groups (about 4,500 people) loosely under one roof, and they can get more involved to do some of this work. I'd like for Advocacy to evolve as a general outreach group for all users of all distros in all regions of the world. Jim -- http://blogs.sun.com/jimgris
