Hi Frank,
Had time to look at your blogs today and the content is really cool. It
sounds like a great gap to fill WRT how things can be done and would be
useful as a learning series. But, something we should also send around
for discussion.
I really like the small set of articles so far and I'm happy to post
them on the Doc Reviews page with the same caveats and disclaimers you
have identified. Then, I think we could get the right aliases reviewing
the content with a few posts to related lists. For format, you could
just put all the HTML into one file, I think, since they are so short.
I like a series of blogs because it gives a sense of time and order, but
if you use headings to indicate that order in one file, you preserve the
flow for the reader. Let us know what you want to do, send along the
files for posting, etc. , and we can get started with reviews.
Regards,
Michelle
Hi Michelle, hi all,
thanks for the feedback - sorry for my late response ...
To address some of the points (picking Michelle's mail for a reply quote,
but also talking about what Eric said):
Using docbook/SGML for this and turning it into book-style; assuming I'd
go for this, is it possible to embed hyperlinks, both to other sections of
the article series and to actual sourcecode on cvs.opensolaris.org ?
On reviewing, cut&pasting it all from the blog entries into a single file
makes it very hard to maintain for me (and doubly hard to split up again
afterwards). My UNIX-utils-for-textprocessing knowledge is a bit stale -
does anyone know a simple preprocessor that substitutes nothing but
'#include "...."' so that I can create the "all in one" file/TOC simply by
concatenating the sections ? What would I use ? Maybe I should just
shellscript that ...
Another option might be to (ab-)use the genunix.org OpenSolaris Wiki and
put the articles there. What do you folks think about that idea ? Wiki
would be a simple way for change tracking and article review ...
Thanks to everyone who's responded so far !
FrankH.
