Re: [opensuse-project] Who does QA for the documentation? - openSUSE Project

Hi,

that actually explains a lot.
Is there nothing that can be done against that guy? SUSE / openSUSE
should be registered trademarks...

Cheers

  A person by the name of Timothy M Butterworth pulls
web content from
 our activedoc.opensuse.org <http://activedoc.opensuse.org> server and
 offers books. I believe he is not affiliated with suse or the openSUSE
 project in any way. He adds 'official' to the title to appear more --
 well -- official. The original book in this case is called

 openSUSE: Virtualization with KVM

 We did not put 13.1 in the title, as the book still needs to be
 updated for 13.1 -- with 11.4 there was a package PolicyKit that
 brought in a polkit-auth command. That package no longer exists in
 13.1 -- packages are structured differently now. I cannot tell if you
 also need a different command now, or just need to know the right package.

 By adding '13.1' to the title he triggers false assumptions. Sorry for
 this!

 cheers, JW-

  Hi all,

 I just came across a book by means of google book search titled      "The
official
  openSUSE 13.1 Guide to Virtualization with
KVM", written by      "SUSE, ActiveDoc
  openSUSE Contributors". 
     The title looks strange but see below for a link on the document.

  That book is such a pile of ... *BEEP*...

 Let me just give one example:
 Section 6.1.1.2, "Local Access Control for UNIX sockets with PolKit"

 Quote:
 "Using the polkit-auth command ..."  Note: polkit-auth does not     
exist on my
  openSUSE 13.1 installation, and neither zypper
nor cnf can find it.

 Quote:
 "Editing /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf ..." Note: does not exist     
either.

 So who does QA for these books? I'm assuming they are really      officially
  published by SUSE? 
     Just a pointer:

     Feedback seems welcome:
