It is not mandatory, but it is optional, and helpful. Documentation in the Wiki is beneficial to future users, or current users who may wish to try Slackware on their OLPC XO. Many of these users are not on this e-mail list. It is really your choice whether to publish on the Wiki, but if you do not do it someone else may do it, and the message they write may not be to your liking. Have some faith in the value of your work, don't just abandon it like a stray pet. For instance, for the Tiny Core Linux builds, we have a Wiki page on OLPC Wiki http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Tiny_Core_Linux And we have a general "Minimal Linux Distributions" page at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Minimal_Linux_distros which mentions four Slackware based distributions that are not known to be available for the OLPC XO. And we have a "Sugar on Slackware" page at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_on_Slackware which says nothing useful, yet points to the Sugar Labs Wiki which has nothing useful on Slackware. Anyone reading the Wiki now, looking for Slackware information, would naturally conclude there is nothing available. If your work is not for general use, then fine, keep it silent. Your work does seem opaque ... you have not shown *how* you made the build, and therefore it is not publically reproducible ... and the sum of knowledge has not increased markedly. But the same can be said for some other builds, yet they are of use. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
