I'm in. Never built any packages but I can find out how. (Used to work for Sun, and still have a few contacts there)

I am keen on getting some (l)user documentation up and running. It would be nice to have a "connect-the-dots" type of how-to and a more extensive FAQ. Anybody who has been on this list a while can probably help with the FAQ. There has to be certain "How do I ....." questions that appear more often than others.

Cheers V.

Hi, there

In the long run (before I died ;), I plan to migrate my bb system monitoring environment to hobbit given its open-source license and availability of

cookit provides commercial support.

Following items that need to be done and I am willing to help on

1. Digitalize the hobbit compilation and packaging process for different Unixen. So we don't need keep answering how to compile hobbit on ??? platform issues.

2. Set up a hobbit wiki page/book (on mediawiki ?) I like mediawiki because there is a command line client in perl to automate the wikipage update.

3. Prepare the hobbit document in docbook format ? The docbook format is the final resting place of hobbit wiki. So we can generate pdf and rtf easily.

I have experience on above three tasks, just need to hear a few voices to tell me to jump on these tasks ;)

Seriouslly, please follow up this thead to let me know your comment. Should I spend the efforts on these tasks ? Are you willing to help etc...

T.J. Yang
