Marblemike - Level 2 I guess.

I'm relatively new to puppy (I've been convinced by my short stay), did the puppy unleashed thing to make a puplet for use in an embedded system, have never made a pet or sfs file, but figure that since I can program in C, pascal, delphi, basic, a little assembler, a little C++, Matlab / Octave and just lately VHDL - I deserve a 2. :) I mainly do hardware though, and when I develop its generally for external hardware like DSP's and micro's.

Hi interesting concept in self awareness

In puppy terms I'd like to be a zero, since my knowledge of anything codified is aaaarrrrggghhhh

.....but I do pull PCs to pieces quite often, been a puppy forum user more than a puppy user, due to the remaining w2k os, and I do a fair amount of research, trying to help similar uninformed individuals, as I'm a bit of a ferret

You'll find me splattered all over the forums, I think, as a result :wink:

No point putting my irc up here, I don't use it often enough - pm me

Aitch :D

Level 1, working up to level 2 as time permits. In the short term I've known about Puppy I've become a fanatic. It's a remarkable OS. Looks great, light on it's feet, easy to administer. Looking forward to the future...

I'm an avid puppy user and spread as much puppy (puplets/derivative) around via torrents as possible. (linuxtracker.org/tuxdistro.com and mininova.org)
I also build computers from used and new parts for family use.
A level 1 seems to fit well. :D

And in case you want to rebuild, this is an example of computer technology. :wink:

@Beem

Lol, if you loaded up Windows on that system, you'd certainly need the plunger aka "debugger" due to the bloatware!

I am "out here".

Best wishes to you all. I'll spout off when I feel I can help a bit or relate.

Most likely I could be listed as a "tester" at least.

Hi

Puppy n00bie - but very enthusiastic and willing to learn

Most appropriate for me is probably - Level 1 - low level

Happy to help anyway I can.

best regards - Ray

John Hechtman - contact through forum, or direct email.

I'd call myself sort of a level 2. I've used Puppy for a long time, along with other Linux distros. I'm a pro computer tech by trade, and service both Windows and Macintosh 'puters.

Not a programmer, not a developer, but what I AM is a very skilled technical writer. Just had a book published on wiring audio recording studios. Check out: http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Wiring-Guid ... 0240520068

So I'd like to volunteer to help with documentation. One of the biggest stumbling blocks for all the Linux distros I've worked with (maybe 12-15) is that they either have almost no documentation, or really scanty documentation, or else the docs presuppose a level of knowledge and expertise that may/may not exist in a new - or even intermediate - end user.

I'd like to make the following a steadfast rule for all Puppy documentation; when you describe a process, ALWAYS give EVERY step! Every single mother-lovin' one of them, no matter how obvious, or self-evident you think they are. What is self-evident to YOU may NOT be to the next person to read the docs...

If you don't want to spell out a procedure in your docs, you MUST provide a link to it, so someone who does not know that step can find the missing puzzle piece, and then come back to your docs quickly...

If everyone who works on Puppy documentation abides by this simple, logical rule Puppy documentation will very soon outshine the docs for almost any other available distro!

I cam be reached at jhecht@ix.netcom.com

Thanks!

Excellent. If you're serious, The Wiki would be an excellent contribution to this project as it stands at the moment. It needs refinement for your reasoning reguarding new users.

I would also like to know if you would be able to correlate with a level 3 to produce a cloud diagram of the squash file system overlay of puppy with links to the updated wiki [which of course you having redesigned sorted/created the appropriate documentation for. ;) ].

Ideally, a new start page for puppy that will be an attractive/interactive diagram of a layered union file system and linked to man pages essentially providing lesson 1 for the new user, and allowing them access to level 2 very quickly. This is essential in maintaining a user base.

It would be a big undertaking, but would correct some long standing side work that has become a stone in the shoe.

or another idea is,,, Muggins posted a little program that can record your screen as you do things, If someone would say record how to make a pet package, you could translate that video into text format, and maybe pause it and take screen shots and then we'll have a real nice documentation. How does that sound?
Not really implying that it has to be you, just an idea, to simplify things, some people have problems putting actions into words, Ever see the movie "Lost in Translation?" great movie
