Here's a write-up of some ideas (based on recent experiences
and a few of my blog posts and other proselytizing) that
have been really rattling around in my head this weekend.
I think I'll call it "Broadcast, Notify, and Submit -- How
to Immortalize your Tech-tips in Three Easy Steps." (It's
actually 5 steps, but 3 makes for a catchier title. ;-) )
Feedback welcome.

Step 1 - Broadcast (and tag)
----------------------------
Broadcast ("meta RSS syndicate") your piece by posting it
the top two news/tagging syndication sites: del.icio.us
and digg.com. (Are there any others that come close to
these two?).
Note: If you only do one of these steps, this should be
the one. There are two reasons: it's really easy to do and
it often results in others doing some of remaining steps
for you.
Step 2 - Notify (the technology-specific mail-list
---------------------------------------------------
There is probably a mail-list on opensolaris.org specific
to the technology that your piece is about. Notify that
community by posting a message there.
Step 3 - Submit
---------------
3a. Review/development: Submit the piece for peer review and
further development or co-development to a UNIX/Linux
documentation group such as the OpenSolaris Content Project.
3b. Content aggregation: Submit the piece to a UNIX/Linux
content aggregator such as Sun's BigAdmin
3c. News Aggregation: Submit the piece to one or more
traditional UNIX/Linux news aggregator site. Major ones
are OSNews, Linux Weekly News, and, if you're feeling
lucky, Slashdot. (By "traditional", I mean sites with
a content gatekeeper, as opposed the "new-gen" sites
like del.icio.us and digg.com.)
