Hmm. Let me see if I can keep discussion going... After a bit of thinking, I'd add this level of requirements detail. An OpenSolaris version of this kind of app should provide:
* user registration and log-in. * a standard form for users who want to input a command. * a commenting facility so users can leave comments regarding a command. * a way for user to keep a list of favorite commands from the site list of commands. * a way to display sample output from the command. * a user rating system (e.g., user rates value of commend 1-5 or user clicks a "digg"-like button. The system then floats the command up in the display based on number of diggs or according to accumulated ratings.) * user filters on available commands. (Range of filters are TBD, but examples include filter on command name, filter on most viewed, filter on user who supplied the command, etc.) -alan -- Alan McClellan OpenSolaris Documentation Community Manager #32171 +1 719-352-0993 http://blogs.sun.com/docexchange/ Rainer Heilke wrote: > I agree; we need to nail down the requirements to do this properly. > > 1) We need to avoid the "interactivelessness" of the BigAdmin shellme model. > 2) We need to have a way of categorizing the scripts, as well as searching. > (This may be easier said than done.) > > That's just two off the top of my head. > > I think www.opensolaris.org needs to become robust enough to host this type > of thing.
