In additon to the other suggestions I've made about improvements to this page, I have another one: http://www.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddSSHGuide.html#step1

I have an issue open about the ddSSHGuide.html, and I have been capturing comments from these threads for it.

Diane, here's some more comments from me, in response to Daniel's suggestions.

But I *will* suggest the general form the rewrite should take:

1st:  The page should be divided into:
    -  Instructions for Unix and Linux.
    -  Instructions for Windows.
    -  Instructions for Mac.

2nd:  Each of those should be divided into 2 subsections:
    -  Getting Setup.
    -  Editing the website.

Is there any difference between platforms in editing the website? If not, then one set of instructions should suffice for that part.


For the sake of illustration, I have written a sample "getting setup"
section for Unix. All the sections should follow a similar format. Jean, I
would love to hear your thoughts on it:
<details snipped>

I think your approach on the getting setup instructions is very good. Just one question: are there any platform-specific difference in the bits on "Submit your public key" and "Write to the list with the following information" (items 3 and 4 in your instructions)? If not, then one set of instructions for those topics should suffice.

(Steps 1 and 2, "Generate an SSH key" and "Locate your public key" are definitely platform-specific, but I think 3 and 4 are not.)

If my assumptions on common vs platform-specific information are correct, how about this as an alternative outline:

GETTING SETUP
Intro
1) Generate an SSH key (include step on locating the public key)
   -  Instructions for Unix and Linux.
    -  Instructions for Windows.
    -  Instructions for Mac.

2) Submit your public key.

3) Write to the list with the following information

EDITING THE WEBSITE

(info as needed)

Regards, Jean
