Can I propose you get the OZ forums here on oesf.org frozen/locked.. there's no point in them being here, if what you say is right. And the OZ website news section is closed to comments, and the wiki is very very slow, and quite disorganised, so is a pain to use. So, might as well become a mailing-list only group and simply get people to search the list archives for information?
I said more exposure I think. The forums here serve a purpose, which is to answer less technical questions (and some more technical if there's a dev reading who's interested). The website comments are closed as hrw was too busy to administer it. I'm sorry if the wiki is slow, it seems to work ok for me, but it may be a time of day thing.
Disorganisation of the wiki is my fault, I should spend more time sorting it out, but as with others, I also have a job and a life. I gladly accept help and the addition/correction of articles...
Si, you are most definintely one of the devs who makes me stick around here...
I'm glad to help (when I have time, which is increasingly short these days).
Indeed, my experience of that got me no response (here), well, the thread carried on with my issue ignored. Do I sound bitter? ;-)
See if there's a bug open, add your info to it, would be my recommendation. Sorry I can't help more than that at the moment.
Most of us have lives outside of the Zaurus and as such have better things to do than spend ages sifting through the disorganised mess that is the Zaurus documentation world. Have you actually tried using google to solve a Z-related problem? It's a nightmare, and unless one knows exactly what the distribution one is using is based on, it's sometimes impossible to find related information.
Indeed we do all have lives (and jobs), so where does one draw the line between providing and using information, it's as much up to you to look as it is to us to provide info (more so in fact as you're the one with the problem to solve). These things require cooperation. If the docs/information resources/HowTos/etc. are poorly organised, then please help organise them, etc. In the same way, if you encounter a bug, please file a bugreport and provide as much info as you can for the devs so they don't have to waste time trying to reproduce it, etc.
well, you clearly only want highly technical people linux experts to use OZ, and not regular people, so you might as well all climb into your ivory tower and pull the ladder up behind you!
No, but it's not the responsibility of the core devs to field questions and produce docs, this is for further down the chain - both because the people further down the chain have the time (as they're not doing the development) and because they know the kinds of questions that need to be answered.
