Here are some docs related questions that I have while attending the
docs session at the OpenSolaris Developer Summit
Advocacy/Marketing
Why OpenSolaris ?
- Separate sub-faqs for developers, sysadmins, business, customers
How would you benefit ?
Developers:
Build Apps
How does the effort involved in building ON compare to:
- building Linux from scratch
- building Linux device drivers
- time required on various hardware configuration
P4/512 MB RAM/20 GB disk space
What optimizations could one have to speed up builds ?
Porting Apps
Porting an application over to Solaris ?
What is the effort involved ?
Some sample projects that developers could look at to understand the
effort involved in porting those projects.
Also list the problems that people ran into
Writing New Apps
"This is the same as with any other Unix. For tips on who you can take
advantage of Solaris features, see here".
Packaging applications
Tips on using the various management services (SMF, etc)
Some questions:
Would the docs have a mercurial repository ?
What are the gaps that need to be filled in documentation ?
