Howto Maintenance and Contribution Guidelines
A document such as this NFS Howto takes a lot of time and effort to maintain--especially one that grows organically on a Wiki or other public resource. The goal is also to make this document a repository of validated and tested information that carries a reputation of accuracy. As such, this document is maintained in a "protected" state. What does this mean to you as a reader? It means that each piece of information listed here has been:
- Reviewed by one of the maintainers of this document for technical accuracy, clarity, and completeness. Does this mean the document won't occasionally have mistakes? Absolutely not! We're human after all! What it does mean is that to the best of our knowledge and effort, this document will provide you the right answers for the questions you have.
- Free of vandalism, errant changes, advertisements, or other sorts of distracting problems that can sometimes arise with a community Wiki. Yes, we know that if you're taking the time to read this section of the document you're unlikely to be doing these sorts of things but it is meant to explain another reason why this document can't be edited or changed by just anyone. As an example, any place that security advice is given such as in the Security and NFS portions of this document, we as the authors of this document are trying to protect you from having to worry about whether or not the advice given here has been maliciously changed to cause you grief and introduce security problems into your environment.
So, with all that said--does that mean we're not looking for contributions or assistance with maintaining this document? Absolutely not! The only way that the NFS Howto can become the kind of community driven, adaptive document we want it to be is with your help. How can you get involved? Glad you asked!
- Reporting errors or problems with the existing documentation via the Linux-NFS mailing list. If you notice a problem or find something that isn't written clearly or doesn't explain things correctly, point it out! We'll apply a fix for it as soon as possible and work with you to correct it.
- Add to existing documentation to cover things in more detail or explore new subject matter. Find that you've had to do something plenty of times that isn't documented that has caused you some pain? Draft it up in the NFS Howto Submissions area of the Wiki and drop an email to the Linux-NFS mailing list to let us know its there. We'll take a look at it, work with you on testing and reviewing the solution you propose, and incorporate your changes into the Howto.
- Bringing up subject matter areas that you'd like to see covered in the document, but aren't sure how to do. Again, using the NFS Mailing List as a focal point for discusson, suggest the additional subject matter you'd like covered. Odds are, we can hash this out as a group and come up with a working idea.
