Hi Brian,

Same information can be found in=20
http://wiki.onstor.net/wiki/Software

I went through most of the docs initially and have the directions of how
to setup perforce, build, and many etc.

Just found this doc.   I figured out most of this "the hard way"...

I'll collect what I have and post it as well. there's actually a fair
amount it's just spread all over ( and some existing in email HOWTOs,
for example ). Ideally this should cover everything from Perforce
initial setup, building EverON images and getting them loaded and
running on filers, through how to debug filers, etc.=20

Agree the wiki is probably the best place to coallesce all of this, and
at least partially agree the new employees should document their
experiences, i.e. generate/update HOWTO docs as needed. But we, all of
us who know the processes and tools best, should write the drafts or
supply the initial inputs to the new guys.

Thanks for driving this BTW.

-Ken

The correct place for this info is the wiki. Some of it is already
there. More needs to be added.
I have asked Andy to add new info to the wiki if what he needs is not
there. Best persons to write the
howto docs are the new employees.

One thing every new engineer immediately needs is a "how to" guide to
start building and downloading images.   We have discussed this in the
past.    If you know of any existing documents describing how to build
and download/mount your build, please forward pointers.

Otherwise, one possibility is to checkin a README file in the top level
nfx-tree.   This would include things like:
1.	make command line options
2.	ways to install/mount binaries
3.	tips, known problems, etc.
4.	longer term:   high level functional description of each
directory  (possibly a different file)

Thoughts?   Any volunteers to create a first draft?   I'll bring in some
Halloween candy for the first volunteer, or treat him/her to a beverage
of choice in the breakroom.  :-)

Brian
