Just as an example, when we first decided to try to institute nagios, I was going through the docs for two days, trying to make sense of them. Then I found Max's article (actually his original, on his site). If you *are* going to edit it, I truly hope you aren't going to make it more like the docs on the nagios site. > > Feel free to edit the article, however, if you remove too much, please > delete my name from the top of the article, though. Y'know, it's impossible to look at the nagios docs objectively now because (thanks to Max, and no, he's not paying me) :) I know it too well. However, I vividly remmeber the first time I looked at their pages and thought, How am I going to figure this out. Max did it right. They did it wrong. I don't consider myself stupid, nor a computer novice, but I'm someone who had no experience of Nagios--additionally, I'm more used to BSD documentation, which seems to be higher quality.
