Thanks Dotan,
I had already looked at both of those. Neither is really helpful. It looks like somebody started them and then the effort died. I think it is really important that a reasonably complete list exist for comparison and reference by users. The chance that anyone but developers will query bugzilla to try and find that information to make a quick check if their issue has already been submitted is in reality "Slim and None".
I just seems strange that with the voluminous number of posts and intense user interest on the subject, that Novell doesn't maintain a list.
It would be huge list. Take number of applications, each has few drop down menus, each part of the window can have its context menu. Some menu items call subroutines that open window and have its own share of functions. Then, there are services (demons) that have its own features. To me it appear as almost endless list that will be inaccurate before it is released version 0.1. Developers will not stop and wait for someone to write documentation. Although, somewhat different list would be good to have. List of applications and related documents, per version. This will be large enough and require quite a few people to keep up with changes. The example why versions are needed is HOWTO articles. Not many are applicable without tinkering. Then it would be good to have standard how to write documents. What topics have to be included and to what extent covered to consider it complete. For instance, basic, advanced, power usage and examples, library APIs, workflow diagrams, and so on. I guess that each developer would have to be followed by few guys writing different aspects of documentation. Do you have some examples of software that is good covered with documents that can be used as template for other projects? -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
