Hi Stephen,
OK, thanks for the clarification. I still don't get it, but I'm sure
it will all come together as they get rolling. I'm just happy that
someone is answering the call of 'the article writers' because I made
an effort to ask for some site functionality and templates for
articles when I came on board, but didn't make much headway...as Ben
put it, rubber never hit the road. Probably because I was assuming a
need for templates and tools when there is none! :)
At any rate, the docs community is striving to provide tools
instruction and templates that folks can use to publish on
opensolaris.org or anywhere else in HTML (we generally just use
single-chapter book for something the size of an article). So, if
there becomes a need, we can hopefully help out.
cheers,
Michelle
