MonetDB documentation
Just curious, I follow the mailing lists closely very recently. Is there a way, or does it make sense for someone like me to have access to update the MonetDb documentation based on responses from the maintainers here? I would be happy to collect some of this information and send it in for review before posting as documentation. Brandon Sent from my iPhone
Dear Brandon As with most open-source projects, keeping documentation up to date and accessible is a major challenge. External support for this is always welcomed, but the current setup does not provide the detailed infrastructure to handle selective access. However, it would be highly welcomed if we could increase the number of recipes based on user experiences. Any major database system comes with such a book of how-tos, which are extremely helpful for new users. A shopping list for soliciting recipes on this channel could be a start. A sweep through the SQL manual would also be welcomed, but there it is hard to find the balance between informative (e.g. postgresl) and educational for SQL newbees has to be found. regards, Martin On 2/14/13 5:11 PM, Brandon Jackson wrote:

I am happy to break up the lessons the MonetDB team and community have
taught me over the past few months into some bite size recipe
documents.
Which format do you prefer to receive them in? (Openoffice or MS Word
documents, blogs with copy & paste).
Personally, I go through the archives, but it's a slow, float. I wish
I could somehow download the archives and load them into a modern mail
client (Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook) really anything, so I can
just search and read through in a quick, threaded fashion. Do you
know of anything like that? I would even buy a license to whatever it
was just to reduce time waste.
Let me know what works best for the team and I'll see what I can do.
