My personal opinion (with my blue fedora on) is that the Deployment
Guide is not much of an asset to Red Hat, since people can essentially
get the same documentation around the web (granted, with different
levels of quality).
It's true. I solved my administration problems searching in the web.
But a guide like that has it all in one place. :-)
What about writing one from the ground up?
It's not as big a value as something like the
Cluster or GFS guides, and it requires much less work for the community
to maintain with Red Hat as participants, to whatever extent they like.
I don't use cluster and GFS so I don't know their value. I have to
learn to use them (maybe I'm missing something important).
With my red fedora back on, I know that many people have devoted
many
hours to working on that material. So it's important that they see
working with the community on the Deployment Guide as a win, and not a
failure.
This is an issue.
Thank you, Paul.
