Re: [IBMiOSS] Orion configuration

The documentation on the eclipse.org/Orion site is typical open source
documentation, it's written for folks that already know the answers, rather
than assisting those of us dunce heads that have the temerity to not know it
right off the bat.

Just to clarify, there's no eclipse.org/Orion site. Did you mean

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion

?

I don't disagree with your characterization of the documentation, but
honestly I think it applies to almost any documentation, not just open
source. English dictionaries (in printed book form) are a classic
case: You have to already know the correct first few letters of a
word's spelling if you are going to effectively find out anything
about that word. (To be efficient, you also have to know the order of
the letters in the English alphabet, which might not be trivial if
English isn't your first language.)

Then on top of everything else, PASE is not *quite* like Linux or
Unix, so even if you can find the relevant passages, and then
understand those passages, you still might not have all the
information you need.
