I've proposed a new project to produce internal reference
documentation for networking. After publishing the proposal, one of
the proposed project team members suggested that we solicit comments
from the driver community as well, so I've enclosed a copy of the
original proposal text below. (Nicolas Droux volunteered to be an
initial project team member after the first message went out.)
++++
I am proposing a new project intended to establish a repository for
networking-related documentation. As you may know, only projects have
repositories (not communities), and we'd like to use source code
control to manage the documents and allow open access. The proposal
is detailed below. Please vote on the networking and docs discussion
lists for this project proposal. Per the constitution:
- A minimum of three +1 votes are required, with no -1s.
- The voting period is at least 72 hours (we'll not count the
weekend, so vote by the end of the day Wednesday, March 5th).
I'll handle the administrivia on behalf of the Networking community.
Speak up if you'd like to be one of the leaders (web site editors)
and/or project team participants.
Name: Networking Documentation
Synopsis: Detailed networking architectural, design, and code
documentation intended for OpenSolaris contributors and other
designers.
Proposed sponsors: Networking and Documentation Community Groups
Proposed Participants (Project Team):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (alta)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (xzh)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (ndroux)
Description:
This project will provide detailed networking reference
documentation for contributors to OpenSolaris and other
parties designing products for OpenSolaris. The project will
maintain a source code repository with these documents and
will manage contributions to those documents. An initial task
for the project will be a document describing Nemo/GLDv3
intended for device driver authors.
Related projects: A project similar in scope and intent is "SMF
Documentation." Obviously, it's not similar in content.
