I think what a lot of people are missing is your (and Scott's) emphasis on _professional_ level documentation. ()
No open source project has professional level documentation for free. They have at best whatever the developer felt like spewing in something approximating English. Think of the money people shell out for books on Linux, Apache, PHP, etc. Probably one of the biggest hurdles PostgreSQL had was that the only documentation was the online, volunteer maintained stuff (until recently). Not that my opinion matters a while lot, but providing a brief guide to features (getting started, whatever it's called) for free and charging for something professional makes perfect sense. Now: when is the book out (so I can put it on the shelf and piss off the IBM weenies) -danch marc fleury wrote: > | And for the most part it's a great idea - but you really odda consider > | providing some decent enough docs at least for people to get started on, > | otherwise I imagine you'll find alot of people never getting started at > | all... > > I don't get it, that is what we are talking about making a getstarted stuff > free and good and then the advanced stuff for a fee, did I fail to > communicate this? > > marcf > > > _______________________________________________ > Jboss-development mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development > _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
