|That's fair enough - if people want to use JBoss seriously then they |should be prepared to do this. But for someone who's having a look for |the first time, to see what it is and how it works, the first thing |they're going to look for is some documentation, howtos etc. Either that |or they'll start posting unnecessarily in the forums. Perhaps the scope |of the online stuff should be cut down but you should keep the basic |howto's on getting started, setting up datasources and so on.
yes you got it I am thinking that there will be a getting started for everyone, that knowledge is the simple knowledge and it doesn't take us much work to maintain it, helps newbies so helps us. However anything beyond "getting started" , anything that requires real work, real time, real thought will be in a for pay doco. JBoss is free, CMP engine is free, Clustering is free. You want to use the CMP engine ? then buy the doco, it's $10 bucks for the feature fully documented and you don't have to pay if you don't want to use the feature. But this way I know that Dain is going to take a lot of time to lick his documentation because it is a for-pay product. IT IS A VERY CLEAR VERY SIMPLE WIN-WIN. IT GETS THE QUALITY OF THE DOCUMENTATION THROUGH THE ROOF!!!!!! No vendor has the core developers writing documentation, do you see how powerful this is? In fact the doco at $5 is too cheap I am going to bump it to $10, at least it will make some money for Dain and it gets me to work for free some more. See our banner, "Chez JBoss the dinner is free, the service is not included", those of the users *requiring* free services on top of the free product are naive pinko-commies, I am not. I want to do JBoss professionally to be able to do something professionally you need to be able to get money somewhere, we drew the line of what will be free and not, we stand by it. marcf ps: You don't have anything to worry about the core product, it will ALWAYS be free. | |Luke. | | |-- | Luke Taylor.
