Andy,
Isn't one of the tenets of a WIKI that feedback is expressed through the growth and evolution of the WIKI?
Anyway, I started a "Help! It Doesn't Work" section (http://lifewithbincimap.org/index.php/Main/HelpItDoesntWork) that provides an explicit procedure for solving problems in Binc IMAP installations. It still needs lots of work. I am hoping that the procedure can be augmented everytime we solve a problem on the mailing list.
<SOAPBOX>
"What do the logs say?" is a phrase that is bandied around the various mailing lists, yet I have yet to see a FAQ or instruction manual where the resolution procedure starts with a log file message. Why would anyone start with the log files when information sources barely, if ever, mention the existence of the log files. Lets change that: lets make the reference Binc IMAP problem resolution procedure start from the log file!
</SOAPBOX>
Cheers Henry for getting the ball rolling ! :)
A practical organic trouble shooting wiki will be great. I'm just a bit concerned that Andreas is looking to start an official bincimap wiki. I don't want lifewithbincimap to distract resources from contributing to that.
But what fuels open source projects is inspiration .. and that can be pretty fleeting :) .. so if you feel inspired to record experiences etc .. perhaps lifewithbincimap coule be used to capture these ideas until the official wiki is up, and then these general bincimap sections can be moved over? From then lifewithbincimap could just fill the very specialised role of an extension to lifewithqmail?
Andy.
