Michael, thanks for helping with the server team and the forums. Your experience should come in handy :-)
I'd suggest collecting the forum input on the wiki and pointing folks at the wiki for faqs. Often forum input ends up in a world of its own and gets out of date faster than the wikis, so links back to where the server documenters and developers are most active is very helpful. I brought up the idea of having an Ubuntu Server FAQ for users and sysadmins at the IRC meeting today, and thought I'd throw out some more ideas here while they're fresh. Frequent Questions about Ubuntu Server, for system administrators and users. First, I think the notion of a FAQ is familiar which is why I thought it might be useful. It also tends to get folks thinking in the terms that users and sysadmins are likely to use in google searches, which helps get google hits. At the same time, of course, we already have two wikis with related material, plus the server guide, so it may be too much to maintain. Perhaps just a small page with pointers to the other bits of documentation would be best. Related pages: Ahh - this looks very relevant :-O It was buried in the google search I did. Perhaps if more other pages pointed to it and it were brought up-to-date that would help. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq Also, more general questions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions Server Topics Differences between Ubuntu server and Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu/Edubuntu Kernel Documentation tasksel GUI-based server admin not webmin ebox (soon) LTSP(?) List of relevant HowTo's LAMP configuration email config [other tasksels] virtualization .... Another form of ubuntu documentation that often is generated as a result of user questions is ubotu factoids: http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi They might be minded for topics, wording etc. mail server mua, mta, mda imap, pop proxy Cheers, Neal McBurnett http://mcburnett.org/neal/ -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
