Great info, Dmitriy! And yes, we need a straight-forward Installation Guide for bare-metal that guides the user through the basic, common steps; we also need a User Guide that is simple and straightforward for information about general maintenance/admin tasks after installation.
These guides can link to sections in other docs that include more background information and advanced methods. I hope to implement this for 5.0. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/fuel/+spec/fuel-docs-restructure meg On Fri, Apr 4, 2014 at 1:55 PM, Dmitriy Novakovskiy < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi guys, > > I recently got the below list of points from one of prospects who played > w/ Fuel 4.1. > The description is pretty vague and triggers questions (even from me), but > I really don't have time now to go deep and ask for details. > > So, if any points here seem interesting/worth of investigation - please > reach out to me, I'll share the contact information for someone to reach > out to this person. > > >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> *Here is a breakdown of what seems to be insufficient error checking: >> 1.
