Subject: 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.
