My biggest personal stumbling block to contributing more deeply is the state of the wiki right now. There is a little bit of doc here there but it doesn't seem very thorough, linear, or well-maintained in its current state. Documentation is as important as code in some thriving communities, and I would suggest it's a value worth considering giving greater weight to here. As I've been working a lot with userland recently, I tried to take a bunch of my recurring questions and things that I keep having to pull out of various Makefile includes and document them here: http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/userland+Makefile+targets+and+variables This is still a work in progress. I was also considered providing a few example Makefiles and package manifests in the wiki as illustrations of how to deal with particular problems (a few of the xemacs Makefiles could be useful here, as would the latest version of git), some of which I touched on in this doc. ___ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev

In my case, I'm coming from Linux (production) and staring wide-eyed at a new (to me) world with a bit of a learning curve to it. My biggest personal I would like to mention the biggest hurdle I had to overcome to make plain user type development on OpenIndiana : I did not find where the standard headers (stdio.h, stat.h, etc.) were hosted. I had to experiment linking with /lib/amd64/libc.so.1 to determine what I had to change to glibc for correct building on OpenIndiana. A better advertizing of the public (I mean non-proprietary) set of common headers which match the distributed shared objects would be useful Regards Jean-Pierre ___ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
