As we discussed at Linux Plumbers Conference during the 'Making SELinux
Easier to Use" talk we have some document deficiencies in the SELinux
project.
I volunteered to start an SELinux Documentation Project. The primary
purpose of the project would be to get as much documentation as possible
on the selinuxproject.org wiki, organized in a fashion that users can
understand and consume easily.
As I admitted before, we, the developers, are not always the best people
to judge what documentation users need and therefore am requesting
users, hopefully from different backgrounds and environments, tell us
what documentation they feel is lacking, what questions they've been
asked or have asked themselves and couldn't find documentation for.
I think we need basic documentation that tells about SELinux (both
beginner and advanced), howto's for specific things (using secmark,
using netlabel, etc) and a set of short 'recipes' to accomplish simple
tasks.
There are documents all over the place with various information, as well
as blog entries and mailing list archives but the effort here is to
consolidate all those resources onto selinuxproject.org.
I'd also like to see volunteers in the community to help out with the
documentation effort, I know quite a few people already write things
like this on blogs, etc and it would be great to see that information
moved/copied onto selinuxproject.org.
Users:
Please, if you are a user and have run in to lack of documentation
respond to this thread, or privately if you aren't comfortable talking
on list so that we can collect what the biggest deficiencies are and get
to writing documentation as soon as possible.
Thanks.
