http://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/documentation.html is there one?

Hi Aleks,

Sorry the documentation for 1.4.0 is lacking on the wiki.  It is 
something we need to work on, but here is an overview of what's going on 
in 1.4.0

- New Web UI (Cockpit plugin) - we are deprecating the 389-console in 
F28, and removing it in F29 (1.4.1)
     - Work is in progress

- New python CLI tools: dsctl, dsconf, dsidm, and dscreate - we are 
deprecating all the PERL tools (but for now they are available in 
389-ds-base-legacy-tools subpackage)
     - Work is in progress
     - http://www.port389.org/docs/389ds/design/dsadm-dsconf.html

- Ability to use other backend databases, like lmdb
     - Work is in progress.  This might not make 1.4.0 as this is a big 
change

- New Password Policy Syntax features:  Dictionary checks, sequences, 
custom list of bad words, etc, etc.  We basically added most of the 
pam_pwquality features to DS
     - Complete

- Improved internal operation logging in the access log (this is a debug 
feature)
     - Complete

Other than that it is just bug fixes.

Regards,
Mark

Hey there,

Sadly today lots of it is in our test suites or our minds. Historically
this has been pretty lacking upstream just because of Red Hat's sole
backing of the project, it meant that resources only went into Red
Hat's docs. IE 1.4 docs will only come out when Red Hat put's 1.4 into
one of it's releases.

I think this needs to change for the health of the project long term,
as now there is certainly momentum away from the Red Hat centric
project of the past, into a more open and collaborated on project.

I think that wiki's are a bad place for docs however, as the content
ownership is hard to track and follow. I think we really need to
discuss a better way to get docs into the project and how we make
things discoverable.


Saying this, the point of the new clitools like dsctl/dsconf/dsidm is
that they should enable discoverability of features with "--help",
rather than having to dive through the rat's nest that is dse.ldif. 

If you were looking for docs, would you accept better man pages and cli
help of tools as a replacement to the wiki?
