This concept was discussed a few months ago on indiana-discuss as a beta
test
project, after looking at this more closely I refocused it on Use Cases
since
that is what we really are needing. There were several people interested in
being part of a project like this.
All input welcome.
Specifically, I'm looking for five OpenSolaris users that want to help
lead and contribute to this project. I won't be leading it, but will
help out as I can.
Cheers,

o Project: OpenSolaris Use Case Project
o Short Description:
The OpenSolaris Use Case Project collects, develops and validates
OpenSolaris
operating system and application Use Cases and provides real world
feedback to
development, documentation, testing and other OpenSolaris groups to help
ensure
users get what they need from OpenSolaris distributions and applications.
o Project Description:
The primary focus of the OpenSolaris Use Case Project is to evaluate and
organize real world OpenSolaris user experiences into Use Cases, case
studies
and best practices for the benefit of other OpenSolaris users, and to
provide
feedback to OpenSolaris developers, technical writers, testers and
others so they may produce better quality products and education
materials that more
effectively meet user requirements. This project is run by users for users.
Project roles and activities are diverse and include users bringing
specific
issues into the discussion, end users and consultants bringing expertise
and
focus to areas they are most interested in, Use Case organization and
development experts, and project leaders who organize the overall project
and review processes.
Development, documentation, test teams and others can provide this project
materials they want user feedback on prior to release to help ensure the
user
is getting what they need to be successful.
Example areas of interest can include:
* Core OpenSolaris Technologies
zfs, smf, security, and DTrace and common OpenSolaris commands and
utilities
