Yes definitely I'd love to see a "RT 4.0 - the definitive guide"
published. Could be fun too being a proofreader for that manual :)

@all
Thank you for you answers, it's glad to receive so many feedback from
the RT community


cheers

Re: [rt-users] RT Book : does it worth?

2009-02-06 Thread Sven Sternberger
Hello Andrea!

We bought the book, it is not the ultimative guide
to set up a working ticket infrastructure.
But it gives you some ideas how RT works, some
nice examples. And it costs 30 bucks, and if it saves
you 1 hour it is a good buy.

The difference between 3.6 and 3.8 are marginal
It is more or less only on the WebInterface (and you can
still configure 3.8 to look like 3.6).

But I think a really good book which gives you
an idea about how to set up ticket infrastructures
in complex and/or large environments would
be helpful

It should not only handle the technical part but also how
to organize your queues. For this kind of information I 
think I would spend more than 30 bucks. 

regards

sven

No worries. I just want to be clear that we're not intentionally holding
back on docs to sell training :)

The first alphas will really be "look! It compiles! don't use it."

We've started by gutting the internals and leaving the featureset alone. 
After 5+ years, it's something RT really needs. As we get toward beta,
it will be more worth playing with.

Hm. I thought you wrote the book ;-)

Ah, interesting read.
I wish you good progress ;-)
But realistically, somebody would need to start writing that book now.
Like all those "Missing manual" books that are released shortly after
the software hits the street.

Can you make an announcement, once you have a version that can be built
and run to get an idea of what it looks like?

I always want to make a VM-image of RT3.8 on FreeBSD with Postgres, but
I never get around doing that, either...



Best Regards,
Rainer

That may be true, but has nothing to do with why I haven't been
pressuring O'Reilly to do a new RT book.  I'd love to see it happen -
It's just not very high on the priority list...and I'd rather see a new

That said, maybe "somebody" finds the time to do a follow-up that
O'Reilly can sell in the form of their PDF-only "short-cuts" for 10 USD.

But I guess Bestpractical makes more money by hosting trainings than
through the sales of the book...

Hi Andrea,

i remember a threat like this some months ago and again: Yes, the book is still 
actual! There are many changes since 2005 but the core and most of the main 
features are working the same way.

Betreff: [rt-users] RT Book : does it worth?

Hi guys
is the book published by O'Reilly still actual or too much time has 
passed since 2005 and the info written there are no more updated?

I've seen in changelog from 3.6 to 3.8 a big step head and reading about the 
idea of release 4.0 during 2009 make me even more in doubt about buying it...

Have you read it? Did you find it useful, or the way RT is intended to be 
documented nowadays is via wiki and this ML ?

Thank you for your answers and opinions.


cheers
