Shorewall users - Dec 2003 - Beta Shorewall Wiki Documentation Project is running...

Hello,

First, anyone think this is a bad idea? Good idea?

I have a few places to host this permanently if it is useable.

I have had a wiki setup, because it seemed a neat idea, and I have seen some
successful wiki projects.

In the five minutes I have attempted to create (or mirror) the shorewall faq, I
see that this is not quite as easy as it looks.

Hey, in five minutes I learned a lot, and with a few more minutes of cutting and
pasting, it could look like a faq.

But, to make this manageable, we need some brainstorming on how to viably use
wiki for a faq.

So, play with this, and post brainstorming ideas here:
http://wiki.rettc.com/index.php/ShorewallFaqIdeas

We just need to have an attack plan before people go creating pages willy nilly.

Here is the wiki:
http://wiki.rettc.com

I gave it a test.  Both pasting "raw" (text) & HTML from
Tom''s faq.  As loong as it''s reasonably basic layout this will
work however I would think we would need tables. Would that be possible to add?

I will be keeping the current FAQ although the link from the site index
will probably change to poing to the wiki. The web site has lots of
links to particular FAQs as does the mailing list archive.

So if you want to organize the new FAQ in a totally different way,
that''s fine.
