Re: [Gumstix-users] Updates and corrigenda to website

[adam <ad...@gu...>]

Thank you Conor and Airie. I am one of the maintainers of the Gumstix Yocto
Project (and its supporting documents). While we do our best to keep the
documentation section up-to-date, it is indeed difficult with a moving
target (and thank you very much for understanding this, Conor!). This is my
personal opinion - it would be great to get help from the Gumstix community
to maintain and improve both the documentation section and as well as our
Github repository, whether it is in the form of direct contribution to the
wikipage or through pull request to Github. Even posting complains to this
mailing list is welcome, as long as they are constructive. Ultimately I'd
like to see the wiki page (wiki.gumstix.org) more active. I am aware it has
its own issues such as no easy user sign up. I will try to make the wiki
more approachable this weekend. While I am at it, please feel free to
suggest other improvements. Additionally, I think one of the problems is
that we haven't been communicating effectively with the community. So
recently I began using the Issues feature in Github to make the development
process more transparent to everyone (including to ourselves). For example,
http://bit.ly/18ATZLS and http://bit.ly/1bt0Vvj and http://bit.ly/18AU9TG.
I hope that this keeps the community informed on the progress and as well
as give a better way to provide feedbacks. Most of the above statements are
my personal opinion. I am probably overlooking more urgent issues that can
serve the community better. If so, please let me know.

Adam
