It does? Where? This list isn't it, for several reasons: there's no keyword search, there's lots of extraneous material in the postings, and the knowledge on a particular topic is spread over multiple postings. The problem with piggybacking directly on the SuSE database (if that's what you had in mind) is that SuSE would then have to take some responsibility for the contents. SuSE should have no more responsibility for the contents of the user database than it does for the contents of this list, since that responsibility would entail a lot of work. Paul Abrahams

Well, Togan, I think you and I should be discussing that very issue. The Linux Tutorial provides a great many features that allow easy access to knowledge and well as a great deal of content. One thing that is missing is a way to access the information "topically", such as the way you FAQ does. However, we are already working on that. As I mentioned, another thing that we are working on is the ability for users to add new material. We have decided that you really need an approval process for that. Since Togan has been running the FAQ , I think he would be a good choice for an approver/administrator. (One among several) We have also been discussing a couple different mechanisms to add new material. So, take a look at the site and let me know what you think. I firmly believe that we should join forces. We are both repeating content as well as effort and that does no one any good.

Google searches have a poor signal-to-noise ratio. For instance, I often find questions similar to mine, but no answer to the question. And list posts in general have lots of extraneous text, unlike the articles in SuSE SDB, which is my model of what a database should look like. I should also mention Togan's unofficial SuSE FAQ. It's a marvelous resource and a noble contribution to the community, but it still doesn't serve the purpose of the database I'm suggesting. First, Togan would have to vet the contributions and incorporate them, which would be an enormous burden on him.

If I have proper contributions, incorporating them would not take more then 20 minutes. However the current case is I do the digging into the mailing list, find the interesting topics (well sometimes interesting for me maybe) and collect the answers, see if they make sense or not. If it does make sense, meaning the method or solution provided does not decreases the security of the installed system or will not make a huge effect when the system is upgraded then I incorporate it in to the FAQ. I have many times posted on this very list and asked for contributions and help. What I have received in return does not count more then my two hands' fingers.

That's not what I'm talking about :-) When I point my browser to my localhost page, I see a sample page, with these links at the bottom: | [ SuSE help system ] | [ /usr/share/doc/ directory ] | [ PHP manual ] | [ Apache Manual ] | | [ The SuSE website ] If I go to the [ SuSE help system ], I see: | # SuSE Linux | SuSE specific Documentation | | * Support database | Your question- our answer!

Then I would definately like to invite you personally to visit the Linux Tutorial (link below). First off, the style is more conversational than tech manual-like. We try to discuss things in a simple, easy to understand ways. Even with more complex topics like kernel internal or TCP, we still strive to make it easy for the newbie to understand. Second, there is a lot of inter-relations between the various components. If you run across something you do not understand, there are many different ways to find out more. For example, glossary terms are links and depending on your browser, you get a popup with the definition when you move the mouse over the text. It is also a link and clicking it brings you to a page with the definition, related terms and a list of all of the pages, where this term appears. Each page also has a "More Info" link, which leads to another page with links to other sites which provide (what else?) "more info" on the given topic. These links are stored in a database and are page specific, so you will find different MoreInfo links from different pages. As I mentioned before, there more than 500 questions (multiple choice and T/F) with answers to test what you have learned. There is also a link to the page in the tutorial where the information is discussed. We are in the process of building on this concept. For example, in the new future commands will also be links like the glossary terms. How often have you read a manual or other doc where is talks briefly about a command, which you have never seen before. With the Linux Tutorial, that will be no problem, simply click on the command name for details. The same will also apply to files and directories. Will all that said, I think you will find that the Linux Tutorial is a great resource for the newbie as well as for experienced users. Take a look and let me know what you think.

The current system (since the support data base is integrated in the new portal http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/index.html) is NPS based. NPS is a content managment system from Infopark. So somebody creating a new article or editing an existing one has to work in NPS - this then gets exported into HTML and ends up on the external server (portal). Greetings from Bremen hartmut

It's worth a try, but I wouldn't trust a fully automated system. Because people can be malacious in nature, and such a system wouldn't be able to detect a bunch of pr0n promoters using the score system to get their information on top.
Hi All! What you are all describing seems to be pretty much the idea behind the Linkbat project (LINux Knowledge Base and Tutorial). The framework of what people have been discussing has already been built into the Linux Tutorial (link below). One primary goal is to allow users to add material, whether it be complete articles, glossary entries, or anything else. The problem with the SuSE KB (among other KBs) is that it is a traditional so-called knowledge base where it is a set of answers to specific questions. Plus there little or no inter-relationship between existing articles, let alone other, outside information. Although there is a lot of information it does not take advantage of existing technology and little inter-relationships. The Linux Tutorial already takes advantage of a lot of existing technologies, and we are in the process of expanding on the idea. Linkbat is based on the concept of inter-related KnowledgeUnits (KUs). For example, a CommandKU relates to the files it uses or acts upon. So there is a cross reference between the CommandKU and one or more FileKUs. A concept like "Linux can be started from any partition" is also a KU and it might relate to the fdisk CommandKU and the /dev/hd FileKU. There are PageKUs, which form the basis of the tutorial and they relate to other KUs. The fdisk CmmandKU relates to pages in the tutorial that talk about installing, adding new hard disks, file systems, etc. You do a search on partitions and you get the fdisk CommandKU, the /dev/hd, several different GlossaryKUs, the various tutorial pages and so on. The tutorial is also indexed by Google. The Linux Tutorial already consists of over 300 tutorial pages, hundreds of "MoreInfo" links to other sites, plus a database of over 500 questions and answers to test your knowledge (i.e for certification prep). These have links back to the page that discusses that topic. On each tutorial page you have several "Did You Know?" blubs. Which are short statements. For example, one that I just pulled off is "So-called 'well-known ports' are listed in the file /etc/services". These form the basis of the ConceptKUs and are also links back to the page where that concepts is discussed. Note that these mechanisms are **already** in place and we are working on more. One goal is to mark some of the questions as FAQs. The system then generates a list of FAQs, sorted by topic. You add a new question/answer to the system, mark it as an FAQ and the next time the FAQ is generated, it contains that question. One thing we are already discussing is the issue of approval of entries. Somewhere down the line there has to be a decision, whether it is consensus (votes) or a moderator. With a concensus, you still need someone to push a button to add the material to the system. My idea is a set of moderators or administrators who make **some** decisions. This would be fairly easy for smaller things like new glossary entries or references between different KUs. New articles might be a little harder to manage, but with several admins taking turns to ease the load it would be easier. You could still have a forum by which people vote. Then the admin pushed the add button. We already have much of the database model down. However, we welcome any input. Plus we can use help in coding, as well as writing content. Please take a look a the tutorial (http://www.linux-tutorial.info) as well as the LINKBAT project (http://www.linux-tutorial.info/Linkbat/), which by the way has already been registered with SourceForge. I think that this is what people have been talking about and much of it is already here.
