Re: [binc] What do the log files say?

[Andy Gayton]

Just a quick note on the wiki - my host provider has bounced my server a couple of times without notice which has led to lifewithbincimap being down.  If you notice lifewithbinc is down please shoot an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I'll get it back up as quick as possible.  I'm investigating what I can do to reduce possible down time.

I think this is covered ok in http://lifewithbincimap.org/index.php/Main/GetHelpFromTheBincimapMailingList

I've just done a bit of restructuring.  I've also added http://lifewithbincimap.org/index.php/HelpMe/SomeWhereToPutYourLog to show people how they can make use of the wiki as place to make there log file available before posting the mailing list.

3.  Can solicit for a few volunteers to update "Help, It Doesn't Work"
whenever a encounter and solve a new type of problem?  I think that if we
have 2-4 people that are thinking about updating the problem resolution
procedures that we quickly cover 99% of the problems that people encounter
when using binc. I (of course) would be one of the volunteers.

Agreed. Of course anyone can contribute here. I'll try to update the Wiki
when I encounter new problems.
Is it possible to ask people who have just had an issue solved to quickly post something to the wiki?  I find I write my best documentation when I've just learnt something for the first time as I include all the bits that eventually are taken for granted.

The HelpItDoesntWork section could need some structuring though; we could
need to seperate at the root level with common starting points:
If people brain dump into the wiki I'll try and set a bit time aside every weekend to restructure the information.  If people want to contribute thats really valuable and its a shame if distractions like how the information should look gets in their way ..

I would actually like to think of it the other way around; the Wiki should
be the "depository" from which I pull out essential information used to
build up the FAQ. Right now the FAQ contains more information, so I guess
it's okay to just transfer some information over.
Thats a good idea .. I've gone a bit wiki crazy over the last month and a bit and have wikified all the documentation at my current work :) .. We now have the dilemnia though of how to produce formal documentation.  It looks like using a wiki to help catch the ideas before people lose their oof to write about them, and then later distilling that information into a more concrete document could be a good way to go ..
