I'll help structure it and so on of course but I'd really like users to get more involved, in part so I can focus on other things myself.</p> <p>Did I mention that I'd like an update to http://www.exherbo.org/docs/contributing.html so it covers both packages and documentation? :)</p> <p>If you have any ideas for user documentation just contact me. If you don't think you can write it yourself I might be able to find somebody else to do it but just getting some input on what you and others think is missing would be valuable in itself.</p> My plan regarding user docs is to have users write all of them or at least as large a part as possible.

Did I mention that I’d like an update to http://www.exherbo.org/docs/contributing.html so it covers both packages and documentation? :)

If you have any ideas for user documentation just contact me. If you don’t think you can write it yourself I might be able to find somebody else to do it but just getting some input on what you and others think is missing would be valuable in itself.

And thanks for all your work. If it doesn't distract you from coding, I'd love to see more material directed at users. Your video from FOSDEM was great and I've been reading the blog for a while now.</p> <p>I think I should clarify something I said above - "If you just want things to work, don’t use it." It depends on your perspective. If you're like me, Exherbo <i>did</i> work very smoothly. The amd64 stage was flawless, paludis is working like a champ, all of the repositories are in good shape... the only problems I've had were my own fault. So, from that perspective, it really is very smooth.</p> <p>The comment was mostly directed at the Ubuntu mentality. You can't just hit the power button and have everything functional. (I have nothing against Ubuntu, just different perspectives.)</p> Wow, Bryan, thanks for the comment. And thanks for all your work.

The comment was mostly directed at the Ubuntu mentality. You can’t just hit the power button and have everything functional. (I have nothing against Ubuntu, just different perspectives.)

It's short (good feature), mostly to the point and fair imo.</p> <p>Being one of those opinionated developers I can't help wondering what it would look like if I wrote a review myself.. Probably best if I don't :)</p> Thanks for the nice review. It’s short (good feature), mostly to the point and fair imo.

Being one of those opinionated developers I can’t help wondering what it would look like if I wrote a review myself.. Probably best if I don’t :)
