I am interested in hard copy documentation for OpenBSD, and would like to
know if other folks share this interest.
I read through FAQ 2.3 and have a pretty good idea how to go about printing
out the hard copy of all the text, man pages, docs, etc. that come with the
CD. If I or anybody else wants their own personal hardcopy documentation,
well, it is definitely doable, albeit perhaps time consuming and
inconvenient.
However, this got me to thinking. Has the OpenBSD project ever thought
about publishing their documentation in a convenient hard copy format, or
even writing some sort of manual? A quick search of the advocacy, misc, and
tech mailing list archives revealed that somebody was pondering writing a
SysAdmin manual back in 1998. I have not been able to discover anything
else however.
Let me ask this question of the OpenBSD developers, supporters, and users:
Does anybody see a strong need to create a hard copy documentation project?
Do most people find the e-documentation to be sufficient? Or are there a
lot of folks like me who are a bit rustic and prefer something on plain old
paper?
Please share your thoughts on this.
Thank you,
