Solaris resource site
I'm thinking about setting up a small site that I hope will grow to become something of a 'self-help' guide for Solaris. It will be authored by anyone who knows what they're doing, ie you guys (I hope!)
Basically, what I want to do is keep a list of functions and have some guides written on how to use them in a more practical fashion than the MAN pages. I'd also like some basic walkthroughs, like explaining how to configure certain features, like maybe SENDMAIL. I'm hoping that experienced users will be willing to share their knowledge. The target audience is 'hobbyist' and beginners although I hope it will offer information to advanced and intermediate users too.
Primarilly I want to focus on Solaris 10. If anyone has used PHP.net and gone through the functions pages, you'll probably know what kind of thing I'm planning on. The idea is that over time the site will grow into a valuable resource that is easier to search than these types of forums. Of course I would like to include a forum for questions and maybe a small community. I plan to have links to downloads too, for software that is of some value, maybe like Firefox etc, for people who haven't been able to find the SPARC versions of software.
What I need to know though is if there will be any of you guys willing to help out with the writing of the site. It will all be through an editor on the site, you would just need to log in. I already have a number of sites using a simillar system. As something of a beginner myself I'm not likely to be able to write much on my own, I need a lot of help. I've noticed that the UNIX communities seem much more willing to help newbies than the Windows guys and I'm hoping that some of you guys would be willing to impart some of your knowledge? I'm not even going to create the site unless I know that it will get some support. (naturally it will be all database driven and easily searchable, you have my word, your efforts will not go unread!)
Let me know if anyone is interested, if so I'll get it written and contact you when it's done.
Cheers guys
