Though I expect few people would object, some might prefer not to have their email address and/or name included. At the very least, it would be courteous to notify the author that his or her message might appear on the web. Without this, most people would assume their postings will only appear here, and in the Debian list archives. Otherwise, I think it's a great idea! Thanks. -- David Zelinsky [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Linux Tips Tricks
I don't think people will think it inappropriate for you to publish their suggestions organized in this way (this is not dissimilar to FAQs or the FAQ-O-Matic) but I do think it is inappropriate for you to not credit the individuals who wrote the tip as well as copyrighting them in your name. that's true. sorry it was my mistake. i agree with you. I think that if you gave credit to the actual authors of the tips and removed the (c) patoche.org from the LTT pages which are not entirely your content I think it would be a very good resource for a lot of people. ok so from the next batch on, it will be like that. i removed all copyright mentions and I now will add authors' name and email by default. I just hope noone will use the site to collect all emails and then spam people. Perhaps if you see a tip you'd like to add, perhaps you could ask the person if he/she would like to: (a)have his/her tip included in your database (very likely, but it would be simply courteous to ask first) (b)have his/her name and/or email listed with the tip Only problem : because i haven't kept the old emails, i can't add the old authors, that is the ones of tips already present. if anyone recognizes one of his previous email, please warn me i will add their name. If the tip came from this mailing list, you could find the person's name and email address in the list archives. Just my $0.02. --David P.S. I think it's a great idea. I've got you bookmarked too.
FAQ-O-MATIC (was Re: Linux Tips Tricks)
I've had a look at the tips and tricks page and it is a good effort. The only query is about whether we are reinventing the wheel. We have the FAQ-O-MATIC on the debian web site: http://www.debian.org/fom/1.html It would be good if all sorts of tips and tricks went into here. There are already quite a number, but adding more would be great. Also, the FAQ-O-MATIC doesn't seem to have a link from the main page. This might be a good idea.

Re: FAQ-O-MATIC (was Re: Linux Tips Tricks)
Hi! I totally agree with Mark on this subject. The whole idea of FAQ-O-MATIC is great, and once it showed up I thought it would quickly develop. In my PERSONAL opinion it did not quite reach it's goals. 1. I agree with Mike - put it on the main page. 2. It's quite complicated. I tried once to start a thread there, followed enormous number of steps (username, confirming e-mail) ... and still failed. It's certainly because I'm dumb. 3. Still mailing archive in my mind is the best place for a tip. Why? It's very easy to use, perfect organisation, great search engine. And unlike FAQ-O-MATIC anyone can easily contribute to the list. On the other hand we don't want another copy of mailing list Don't understand me wrong: I love the idea of FAQ-O-MATIC, I just think that the project diverted from it's original goal. One of the best FAQ's I saw was at CERN, about PAW (Physics analisys workstation) It's a plain list sorted by number of requests. Question that I was interested in was right on top. (http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/asdcgi/listpawfaqs.pl) I've had a look at the tips and tricks page and it is a good effort. The only query is about whether we are reinventing the wheel. We have the FAQ-O-MATIC on the debian web site: http://www.debian.org/fom/1.html It would be good if all sorts of tips and tricks went into here. There are already quite a number, but adding more would be great. Also, the FAQ-O-MATIC doesn't seem to have a link from the main page. This might be a good idea.
