When you log in from a character based terminal, the "shell" is the user interface. When you type in a command, it is the shell that reads it and arranges for the command(s) to be executed. For example: % ls | wc -l the `%' is the shell's prompt. `ls' and `wc' standard unix program (list files, word count). The `|' is interpreted by the shell as meaning ``take the output of the first program and feed it to the input of the second''. The shell has to locate where the `ls' and `wc' programs are on the system (using the PATH environment variable), arrange for them to be run such that the output of one goes to the other. If you are familiar with MS-DOS, the shell serves the same role as COMMAND.COM, only is quite a bit more powerful. Jast as you can create `batch' files in MS-DOS that are executed by COMMAND.COM, it is not uncommon to find quite complex programs written for the Unix shell. You should also be aware that there are two commonly used Unix shells: the bourne shell (sh) and the `C' shell (csh). Actually, there are several variants of each one available. The choice of which one to use is somewhat of a religious issue. -john From owner-freebsd-www Mon Jan 27 06:26:27 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id GAA07664 for www-outgoing; Mon, 27 Jan 1997 06:26:27 -0800 (PST) Received: from shado.homebase.com.au (internal.homebase.com.au [203.61.149.8]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id GAA07658 for ; Mon, 27 Jan 1997 06:26:22 -0800 (PST) Received: from snowy.homebase.com.au ([203.61.149.1]) by shado.homebase.com.au (post.office MTA v2.0 0813 ID# 183-13685) with SMTP id AAA183 for ; Tue, 28 Jan 1997 01:10:22 +1100 Received: from by snowy.homebase.com.au (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id BAA22630; Tue, 28 Jan 1997 01:23:07 +1100 Date: Tue, 28 Jan 1997 01:23:07 +1100 From: linkto-l@looksmart.com (LookSmart - linkto-l) Message-Id: <199701271423.BAA22630@snowy.homebase.com.au> Subject: Editor's Choice Award Apparently-To: webmaster@freefall.FreeBSD.org Sender: owner-freebsd-www@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dear Webmaster, LookSmart, the next generation of web directories committed to quality and superior user web experience, is delighted to award you The Editor's Choice Award for the following site/s: www.freebsd.org/ www.freebsd.org/ www.freebsd.org/ This award conveys the highest standard for providing a useful and high quality website.

Would it be useful to have a defined format for submitting FAQs (like, "How do I get a UFS fs on a ZIP disk") to the project? And then something like send-pr ('send-faq'?) which could just be a shell script to run 'send-pr -f faq-template' or something. In addition, maybe stick an interface to it on the webpages? While I'm here -- how about a mailing list, like -chat, but for "technical items related to the FreeBSD community" (since that's the -chat description, minus the prepended 'Non'). For suggestions like this that aren't really questions. Perhaps then the traffic on -questions (and -hackers) which are more suggestions and commentary relating to FreeBSD would migrate over to this new list.

No matter who bad the initial searching is, one usually gets one message out of a thread that matters. Once you have that, a searching not by mesage, but by thread is possible (at user's option), that means you compute a weight on a whole-thread basis (hits/thread length or something). Ideally, the thread identification process should be quite tolerant and construct a thread by mesage-id's/references *and* subject (while taking variations like truncates subjects into account), maybe the amount of tolerance based on user's choice and some "knowledge" about subjects/maillists combinations that usually don't identify a thread ("Help" "XXX vs. YYYY" etc.).

We have a Connor 4GB QIC-3020 model that works very nicely. Just steer clear of the floppy-interfaced tapes and you should be OK.

This is a call for more place where such a beast is needed so I can direct my search on focus. So far I have: 1) Some sort of FAQ database. While the main FAQ can be kept tight, the idea is to have a database of FAQ submission that can be searched by users. Submissions to the database should be nearly unrestricted, something like a mailing list where people can be sure every message contains a complete solution description for a given problem. What we need, not only for the FAQ, is a mechanism, where WWW-accessable material can be submitted without action from the server maintainer. It should also be possible for the original author to update his/her own submission (passwd-protected) and other people should be able to submit followups that appear besides the original messages. 2) Commercial entries should be editable by the responsible parties (once someone approved the company is serious and gave them a passwd or such). 3) FreeBSD-related projects should have pages that can be changed by outside people. See www.netbsd.org for an example project page. N) If you have something in that line, drop me a note, please. I started looking into tools to do so, using GNATS seems overpowered, using simple mailing lists/ml-seraching underpowered. Before I continue, help me outlining demands.

This has been discussed by a group of people already. Actually, my first idea was to make this a simple mailing list anyone can send their submission to, maybe moderated. The main goal, to provide a place where people can be sure to find solutions (as opposed to discussion) for a given problem, would be reached by this simple solution. But it lacks update and followup possibilities. > > 2) Commercial entries should be editable by the responsible parties > > (once someone approved the company is serious and gave them a passwd > > or such). > > I agree.

WWW pages feeded from a database, either as complete listing or selected by search. The database should accept submissions, either by anyone (FAQ, maybe projects) or by a maintainer (commercials) and assign a passwd for the submitter so he can change or remove his/her submission later. Depending on the kind of database, people can submit followups (FAQ, maybe projects) and get a passwd assigned as well. As I think over it, GNATS has a lot of work done in this direction already.
