sysadmin manual...

Hi…

The systems administration manual has not been updated for a good while
due to QSSL resource allocation. Well…, I wonder if the QNX community
at large could contribute to this? For example, Igor, Mario, Bill
Caroselli, Armin Steinhoff, RK, vasa, Eduard (ed1k), Rennie, and many
others could contribute to this. Someone would volunteer to keep the
documents updated with every body’s input and contribute, etc… This
way, for example, help for many new folks would be automatic in at least
some of the most basic issues.

Just an idea. What about it?

Regards…

Miguel.

my opinions are mine, only mine, solely mine, and they are not related
in any possible way to the institution(s) in which I study and work.

QNX 6 (i.e. Neutrino).

There’s an Installation & Configuration guide for QNX 4.

As far as I can see QSSL has other strategy. They do not collect bugs from everybody, they write it
theirself :wink:. BTW, we do the same…

Caroselli, Armin Steinhoff, RK, vasa, Eduard (ed1k), Rennie, and many

As to me, I never participated in such projects. I’m a commercial programmer and some open source’s
technique is a revelation for me :wink:. Probably, if QSSL find some mechanism and project originator,
I’ll participate. Maybe I’ll get luck in Canadian embassy (I’m hoping third year yet) and I’ll have
enough time to study English and participating in volunteer program :wink: Who knows. Currently I have
enough work to do (I guess other guys have it too) and I’m glad if my fun on newsgroup is useful
for anybody. Unfortunately, it don’t affect the really needful sysadmin manual. I think the
sysadmin guide is not quite appropriate place to contribute by QNX community. Many things discussed
in it are knowen by QNX developers only.

Possibly, but the users might be (painfully) aware of what parts of system
administration need explaining. Any comments and suggestions are most
welcome.

Hi Steve,
You are right. As far as I understand Miguel asked about writting (additing) the manual by QNX
community. (If there is nobody at QSSL to advance the manual). These things are different :wink:

Even if the idea is not so bad, Miguel, I can guess how it could be
difficult to manage for QSSL.
