Dear Open Source developer I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate. You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it. With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development. With many thanks for your participation, Benno Luthiger PS: The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/. We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list. _______________________________________________________________________ Benno Luthiger Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich 8092 Zurich Mail: benno.luthiger(at)id.ethz.ch _______________________________________________________________________ |

This is James, I spent a few hours tonight moving the Hints & Tips into Chapters. I am thinking Chapter 10 can be a software installation guide chapter. There are now only 42 Hints and tips that have to be moved, and that's about an hour's work. Next step is to edit for content. The content is a bit messy now. Its 1:00 AM! Night! JL |

Hi everyone, I'm going to Chicago for a few days and won't be around till Tuesday. I was talking with Brian earlier about the LDP. We were thinking it might be a good idea to split them into separate projects (under one master project). The goal would be to produce 2 documents: 1. A Beginner's Guide to LindowsOS 2. A Developer's Guide to LindowsOS. And, maybe a printable version of Hints and Tips? Right now a lot of the material we have could be in the Developer's Guide and the Hints and Tips. I would like to come up with an outline for the Beginner's Guide (based on the LOS QuickStart Guide that is already in the OS). So, I think we've pretty much agreed on using LyX for the typesetting. It is versatile enough to create a lot of different formats and I'm sure it will make the printing of the hard-copies much easier. So, James is going to head up the Developer's Guide and I'll oversee the Beginner's Guide. We will have to coordinate on the use of CVS, Wiki's, versions, etc.. I think that a CVS would be wise to keep things from getting blown away. But, they can be cumbersome to use sometimes. For now, we can use the mailing list, the "Files" of the SF site and the "Docs" section as well.Eventually, we can get CVS going and have different levels of editors. But, the "master files" should be protected. I'll work on some stuff this weekend and then send you my thoughts on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Hi, I have a question about the use of "Common Commands". In the document we have these sections: 1.2.2 Common Commands 1.2.7 Commands 7.2.1 Common Commands 10.31.2 Linux Commands and Directories What is the difference between them?

Hi everyone, I published release 0.5.1 here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=71333 The changelog lists the modifications. Also, I've added James as an Admin at SourceForge for this project. To handle releases, you can go under Admin, and choose "File Releases". Let me know if you have any questions. I will start working on adding Hints 236 - 246. James... after we get this thing a bit more cooked, we need to talk about exporting a HTML and PDF versions that we can post at: http://lindows-doc.sourceforge.net. Also, can we start using this SF site for all future releases? I've noticed that you still have copies on your automagic site. This may create some confusion as to which is the "offical" version. One other minor note -- I added my name to the top. But, I didn't put it first for any egotistical reason. I just ordered the authors alphabetically by last name.Eventually, we should consider adding a section called "Contributors" and list everyone there? Please let me know what you think.

Ultimately it is my hope that all of the authors of the book will receive recognition for their work. This has been difficult to do in some situations because I had incomplete information about the author of a hint. My guiding rule is to include a first and last name of the author in the Lindows Hints and Tips raw data when I could. However, when the hint contents were moved to chapters, it was difficult to keep the authors name with the hint, as it may have been divided up and moved around. My hope is that when the rearanging of the data is complete, that the authors will not be listed at a tip, but at the top with the maintainers. Note: if you are a maintainer, go ahead and include yourself as an author; if you wrote a tip, give us your first and last name. I hope to make a post in the Lindows forum to this effect shortly.

Kendall, as content maintainer, you call the shots on the chapters and such for the book. This means you are the "outline god." When I was temporarily the "outline god" I started to arange the book as shown here: https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=14853&group_id=71333 However, I made some changes to the outline to what I thought made more sense. Obviously you are "god" so you aren't bound by any of those decisions, but I do recommend that the page linked above be updated from time to time, so it is consistant with the book.

If you are up to it, I am very comfortable with you being the content maintainer. It means when the cookies crumble, you have the final say when it comes to what goes where in the book, how the chapters go, and so on. You have me as a volunteer to do leg work, and as a maintainer of the raw data. Its my job to know what you have in that book already, so when we get to a stable point and we think that we can add additional hints smoothly, I have to be able to identify and give that to you. The responsibility you would have is to track who is moving what to various areas of the document, and to be sure that different people do different things. On delegation...I really let the volunteers do what they want and only kept track thatthe work did not double up.. When I was working with Matt and Cloudy Wizzard and Techmate, I just asked them which hints they wanted to mine out. They would write me sometimes and ask me if they could trade hints, and I would just casually ask the other guy if he wouldn't mind switching, and it seemed to work out. Don't be afraid to switch maintainers, if you think someone else can do a better job than you can at a particular stage that the project is in. For example, a guy like Matt would be an excellent content editor, while Tuna might be good at the design stage. Pass advice to you sucessor. :) Here are some people that had mentioned that they were intereste that I remember off hand. Zoic, content editing S3Indiana, content editing Jonlamon, wiki Cheers, James Leone |

You can delete the Red boxes and label that line by going to the top left menubar and taging the line as whatever you feel is most appropriate. But first, some quick info on LyX... If you go to Layout and Document, you can pick the style document you want to create. I would stick with whatever it is already, because some of the tags are not compatible between versions. First thing to know is that LyX is not 100% WYSIWYG. Don't worry about that yet. If you want to view the document, you can go to view and there are a few formats that are available for viewing and printing. You can also export by going to file and selecting export and then choosing an format. Depending upon the document type, you can also save as html. If the documrent type is Docbook sgml, the option is there. However, here is the trick to LyX. If you export or save as HTML... The html file will be stored in your /temp directory. So, while you have the file open, go into your /temp directory. In there you will see one or more directories that start with lyx. Give it a test print, only a few pages. You will notice that a table of contents has been created for you, based upon the section markings and the insertion of the table of contents at the top. To insert an image go to insert, graphics and then browse for your file. How numbering works... If you go to a section that is numbered and put your cursor on that line, and then swicth the type of line in the upper left hand corner from Section to standard, you will notice that the next section down is now the section number you used before, and this drives the table of contents.

I've got the file you sent me James and was able to open it. I see two red boxes near the title that each have the word "Error" in them. I can send you screenshots if you want. I can start working on sections 1.1 - History through 1.2.2 - Common Commands Unless you'd rather I start somewhere else? You guys have done an excellent job on this.

Sorry guys... I think I jumped the gun by sending the URL to the Wiki. I need to spend some time looking at what we already have before we start inputting a separate stream of data. I've locked down the Wiki -- please disregard the URL I sent yesterday. We may use it again in the future. But, we'll have to evaluate this more closely. I'm going to get up to speed on the work done in LyX first.... then, we can move forward with new plans.

I hear what you're saying James... and I DO want to leverage all the work you've done. I set the Wiki up with MySQL on the backend. So, all the info is being captured in a database. I'm hoping that we could get hundreds of people dumping info into an easy-to-use web format. Then, we could pull it out of the database and load it into LyX. I haven't gotten into LyX yet. But, I will do it. I have to install the software and figure out how to use it. I think that has been one barrier to getting a lot of people involved. Some may not know how to use it, or don't want to spend time learning it. I think that the combination of the Wiki and the LyX could work together. Give the users a really simple interface (Wiki) to enter data. Then, we could work to get it out of the Wiki and into LyX for final format. I'm hoping that the final format for http://lindows-doc.sourceforge.net will be static HTML pages with downloadable PDF's or something. I think LyX is a good tool for doing layout -- because we can generate multiple formats from it. But, I think the learning curve may be a bit high for the newbie or casual user. When I get home later, I'm going to get the LyX files, the software, and learn how to use it. Thanks for your feedback on this JL.

But I hesitate to start using Wiki at this point. But, right now the way it is, it doesn't leverage any of the work done by Insiders, members, Matt, Patrick and myself. We are not done moving the hints to their proper spots in the overall outline, and if we go with Wiki right noew, I think it will slow us down. On an individual level its going to take more time to fill up a wiki then it does to cut in paste in LyX, and solving that is just a matter of "the guy in charge" making sure that, for example, if Zoic is editing a hint, that Brian T is not doing that at the same time. But if you really want a wiki, why not go into LyX, and save the document as HTML. Wiki being web based, will start out leveraginf the work we did already. However, it poses significant problems with producing an end product that is portable, i.e. can be turned into a Pdf or a wiki, or a manual in troff format, or a Latex, DVI or postscript document.

The document project has two documents. The first one is strictly a simple compilation of all the hints and tips up to the feature freeze date. The second set is an in progress rearrranging of those hints and tips into an outline at the top of the file. For now, its pretty much a bunch of cut and paste jobs, until its ready for the next stage, testing to verify that the procedures still work in the current version of Lindows. >I've also set up a Wiki here: > >http://lindows-doc.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/ > I haven't looked at the wiki yet, and I liked the idea when used to accumulate the raw data, much like the Hint and Tips are raw data. The good thing about the hints and tips is that they cannot change, but people can comment on the tip, and these comments generally tend to improve the quality of the original hint and tip. My raw data document is missing these comments, but they can be merged in concisely during the editing stage. It is also very important that we have the doc project data in a format that can easily become other formats while at the same time, not becoming 30 MB pieces of bloat common to .doc files. Not everybody has broadband. LyX fits the bill perfectly. LyX works just like MS Word, the only difference is that you can easily mark headings and create a table of contents out of it. Further, LyX will create html documents i conformity with Docbook and Linuxdoc standards commonly used by the Linux community. My hesitancre about using the Wiki as a final product for several reasons reasons ranging anywhere from vandalism to a lack of understanding and a dash of stubbornness. If its a member of the project, or even a staffer at Lindows.com, I am perfectly comfortable with them or us being able to make changes, but not anybody that happens to come our way. So, whoever picks up the torch from here, will have to be given a final say as to what gets included and what does not. I also hope that that person will consider Lindows.com's input to be a very high consideration in the decision making process as I hope that they would want to offer our doc as a user manual. However, we should also keep in mind that LyX stores its documents in a non proprietary format that can be easily be edited by Lindows.com, if there is some content that the maintainer and Lindows.com forks on. > >Please have a look and add anything you want to add. > Whoooa! let me have a look at what's goin on with the Wiki... > I'm going to be >working on it too.

Hi Everyone, I know it's been a long while! I would like to get the Linux Documentation Project going again. I saw the file that James sent and I'm going to try to add them to our Sourceforge project site (https://sourceforge.net/projects/lindows-doc) as downloads. I've also set up a Wiki here: http://lindows-doc.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/ Please have a look and add anything you want to add. I'm going to be working on it too. Let me know what you think.
