Thanks for the great response. It looks like there is a need for this project :)
I added the Systems Administration area. Just a few more details before we begin the project ratification process: - need someone to volunteer to be project point of contact - I would like one more Community to sponsor this project since it crosses Community Boundaries. If you think the project proposal can be ratified in your Community let me know. The Documentation and Testing Communities already plan to sponsor this project. BTW. Since the website transition is in progress this project may start by sharing a sponsoring Community's webpages and/or genunix.org. The usecase-discuss email list will be available immediately after the project is ratified. Cheers, Jim ===== o Project: OpenSolaris Use Case Project o Short Description: The OpenSolaris Use Case Project collects, develops and validates OpenSolaris operating system and application Use Cases and provides real world feedback to development, documentation, testing and other OpenSolaris groups to help ensure users get what they need from OpenSolaris distributions and applications. o Project Description: The primary focus of the OpenSolaris Use Case Project is to evaluate and organize real world OpenSolaris user experiences into Use Cases, case studies and best practices for the benefit of other OpenSolaris users, and to provide feedback to OpenSolaris developers, technical writers, testers and others so they may produce better quality products and education materials that more effectively meet user requirements. This project is run by users for users. Project roles and activities are diverse and include users bringing specific issues into the discussion, end users and consultants bringing expertise and focus to areas they are most interested in, Use Case organization and development experts, and project leaders who organize the overall project and review processes.
