Hi all,

Over recent months I've had a steady stream of comments from
external people trying to use the Linaro deliverables about the
difficulty of getting started, understanding what Linaro produces
and how to use it.


My experience with supporting users is that using and making sense
of the linaro output is often not nearly as easy as we would like
to believe.

Part of the problem seems to be that we may not do a good job of
passing on the knowledge and understanding necessary to allow
users to help themselves.


Is it worth a session at Linaro Connect to discuss how we could
improve the situation?  This probably falls in the "community"
area.


Key things to discuss might be:

* identifying and understanding our audience

* providing the "missing manual" (what knowledge do we tend to
assume in linaro that our audience may lack)

* wiki ownership and maintenance (how do we _manage_ the
information we produce to maximise its relevance and usefulness)

(This includes identifying stale/obsolete information, removing
duplicates and providing useful indices, contents lists and
introductory material.)


Ideally, we should get some users external to linaro to attend
and/or provide input.

Cheers
---Dave
