This would not be SHARE "owned" - it would simply be a collection of information that will be made available to everyone, same as we do with most other things that "we" (the LVM Program) put together.
Good start to an outline of topics. I'm sure once we all sit down and chat about things we will fill in most of the gaps. I envision both my VMSES/E sessions and Mike Walter's "Its installed, now what??" session to 'host' this collaborative information for folks to get their hands on. Posting it for public access would also be a must. _______________________________________ James Vincent Systems Engineering Consultant Nationwide Services Co., Technology Infrastructure Engineering Mainframe, z/VM and z/Linux Support One Nationwide Plaza 3-25-02 Columbus OH 43215-2220 U.S.A Voice: (614) 249-5547 Fax: (614) 677-7681 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] VM/ESA and z/VM Discussions <[email protected]> wrote on 02/17/2006 12:12:25 PM: > [email protected] > > > > > Jim (what a great name! :-) this is an excellent idea and one > > that we have > > all tossed around in planning discussions.
