Andres, Great! I'd like to keep our effort as public as possible, so let's cc everything to the list. I envisage that we do two things: - we put a Coda howto together with sections: - basic concepts - install - build - administer - backups - troubleshooting Perhaps the first target is the following: two documents INSTALL-server.sgml, INSTALL-client.sgml that are really easy to follow, have troubleshooting sections etc and describe the installations. Let's use sgml-tools-1.0.5, we can convert to the new version 2.0 stuff when that is a little more stable. We will put a basic concepts, building and troubleshooting section together as well as an introduction to administration - probably by raiding our existing documentation. We run on several platforms so if you run on Linux do your work in a Linux subsections. I've just put our most recent tar ball of documentation on the ftp site: ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu /pub/coda/doc/doc-110298.tgz The areas of interest are the manual subdirectory, and the intro subdirectory. The intro/RUN file has pretty decent information, that you could use for your document. You may also want to raid the install file in that directory -- this is in docbook format. I have also put a ls-lR in /pub/coda: there is a variety of install documents scattered all over. Also I put a new snapshot tarball on the WWW. It's in pub/coda/src/coda-development-4.7.4.tgz. There are a few modification to the server install scripts which we made. I'm curious to see what you can easily improve in them. - Peter - Andres Kruse writes: > Dear Peter, > > ok.
