Thanks, Eco. Reminder: the next infrastructure meeting is coming up in less than an hour - 10pm eastern/7pm pacific/02:00 UTC Here's a recap of last week's discussion on documentation: * Docs development will be done on the wiki * Whenever new docs reach a usable state, will be exported to Markdown and committed in git tree - glusterfs/docs * In the meantime, looking for long-term solution involving a front end to markdown-formatted docs in git tree * Eco's list of desired docs can be found here: http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/HowTos Tonight we'll discuss progress on that front as well as gluster.org infrastructure - web sites, cms, and other software. -JM ----- Original Message ----- > Greetings, > We are working on providing some additions to our documentation with > a focus on enabling new users, and compiling a lot of the tribal > knowledge into a single place for people to read, review and revise. > Some needs this effort is intended to address: > * Showcase common best practices, that aren't always commonly known > * Aggregate the most common troubleshooting and configuration > questions into one location > * Give new users an easy way to get up to speed with Gluster > * Provide a community driven set of standard configurations for > implementing Gluster in various ways, such as for use with web > servers > * How To's, Tips and Tricks intended to help expedite setting up > various components of Gluster > A lot of what you will see here initially may be things you already > have seen on the mailing list or in the IRC channel.
