Hi all, One of the concepts we see arise on the forums time and time again that's poorly understood is the concept of an Enterprise Class OS and everything that involves. I think it would be of benefit to have a one stop page to point users to that explains the concepts and provides the information required. Much of this content already exists on the Wiki but it is scattered over many individual pages and new users often don't find it (new users often don't search at all!) I'm thinking something that covers the following topics: Relationship with the upstream product stability and long term support (vs bleeding edge) Support lifecycle backporting Not installing software from source ... Much of this could be a narrative linking to existing content on the Wiki where possible - not really that much new content, just bringing it all together in one place in an easy to read/navigate format. Initially I envisaged this as an "About" type page but that already exists (in title), so maybe something like "Understanding an Enterprise Class Operating System". I'd also written a forum post in the FAQ and ReadMe First section on "Installing Software": http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=14408&forum=47 and am wondering about transferring this content to the Wiki too - maybe under the /HowTos/PackageManagement section, and some of that obviously relates to the content above. IMHO it makes sense to have this information centrally available on the Wiki rather than separately on the forums. I guess the reason for this post stems from frustration that the information is there on the Wiki but many new users are simply not finding it (I think forum users are maybe less inclined to search before asking than ML users). This makes me think we need to look at how we can restructure the information on the Wiki to make it more accessible or maybe produce pages that bring together related but individually scattered content in a more structured (easier to find and navigate) manner. ATM we tend to find ourselves writing the same answers over and over again which demonstrates a need for a centralised page covering all of this related content. Any thoughts?
