Need Help With Some Setup Guides


I've got a hardware support wiki in development and it's near release. I'm desperately in need of some guys to
write up some setup guides for me. The site isn't about what 'just works', It's about what does work with some
pain involved. It's not someones opinion or added crapola, It's just the facts to make it work.
It's not just about Linux either, it's about *BSDs or any other unix like OS, there's more to life than Linux.
If it has to be done with NDIS for example, It will tell you exactly what Windows driver version was used along
with other gory details. There are pleanty of mailing lists and forums about, but you can spend literally hours
looking through useless threads, while some people may have the time to do this, others may not and need the solution
quickly. When you do actually find a solution, it can still take hours to figure out exactly how to port it over
to your particular system, i.e. a Linux solution to a *BSD system. The service will be free to use and people will
be able to submit their own articles. I'm just in need of some people to help get it off the ground by writing up
some 'starter-guides'.

Please contact me at: the3rdhero@msn.com
if you're willing to help out.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards.

IMNSHO I'd rather like to see people write guides for LQ. LQ, with it's large and helpful community, definately offers a qualitatively better chance for people to (more or less) effectively find the information you're looking for.

Besides that you're x-posting for the second time, which is against the LQ Rules. Cross-posting is considered bad netiquette on your part, a waste of resources on LQ's part and a waste of time for LQ members who take the time to read and answer your question.
Please do not do that again.

Sinatra - as unSpawn mentioned, you already made a similar response, and when I asked you for clarification in your previous thread, you failed to reply, so I'm not exactly enthusiastic about seeing this second thread opened.

I wish you success with your project, however, you need to understand two things: Cross posting is against the LQ Rules, for the reasons listed. Please don't do it again. Secondly, using LQ for recruiting purposes can be considered advertising, which also is against the LQ Rules. If you are managing an open source project and would like to make an announcement about it on LQ, my recommendation would be to first contact the site admin to get his input about it. As it stands however, this thread is basically a "Help wanted!! But no pay " advert.
