We can have a similar starting-point webpage with an intro. I can write
such a page. Some website pages can be relevant as well. We can rewrite
the relevant parts in the starting page or include them in the snapshot
as they are. Suggested pages to be included with the build:
- Quickhelp_users.html - how to start using the snapshot, configure env.
etc
- Status.html and roadmap.html - info on what to expect from the
snapshot
- Faq.html - common questions on the project
- Documentation.html - links to all docs that we have
Sounds great!
I think a page of docs with links back to our "universe" would be cool,
but I'm not sure what a user would get out of a full set of docs. But
that said, I don't see much real harm if it isn't too big... how big
is
it?
I guess the component docs weigh the most because they have graphics.
Classlib docs amount to 1.29Mb, drlvm docs to over 3Mb.
Cheers,
Nadya

Well, I'll note that there's no source in this - it's a binary build.
The kind of docs that would be appropriate are the docs you get with
Sun's JDK, and to be frank, I think that's one single README.html :)

I've thought of the site pages only, at least this time.
Pages like quick helps, component definitions (build-test framework,
classlib and drlvm), roadmap to name a few.
I'd think more and send a proposal - if this is in line with others'
opinions.

Nadya

Docs are good. What did you have in mind?
This is a user oriented snapshot - to get people to test things, so
I'm
not sure if things like our doxygen output is appropriate...

Geir,
Do you think we shall include any docs with this snapshot? Or would
your
innovation with JDK be enough newness this time?
If you do plan to include some docs, I could do some thinking and
make a
proposal on which should go. Just say you need it and I'll have it
in
a
couple of hours :)
Cheers,
Nadya

I forsee that tomorrow or friday I'll have enough done in jdktools
so
we
can do our first JDK snapshot.
It should have javac and java at the minimum and a real jdk-like
layout.
Are there any concerns or holds in classlib or drlvm right now?
It's high time we do another, and would be cool to make the switch
and
add the JDK
