OpenSolaris Use Case Project Proposal
Project: OpenSolaris Use Case Project
Short Description:
The OpenSolaris Use Case Project collects, develops and validates OpenSolaris operating system and application Use Cases and provides real world feedback to development, documentation, testing and other OpenSolaris groups to help ensure users get what they need from OpenSolaris distributions and applications.
Project Description:
The primary focus of the OpenSolaris Use Case Project is to evaluate and organize real world OpenSolaris user experiences into Use Cases, case studies and best practices for the benefit of other OpenSolaris users, and to provide feedback to OpenSolaris developers, technical writers, testers and others so they may produce better quality products and education materials that more effectively meet user requirements. This project is run by users for users.
Project roles and activities are diverse and include users bringing specific issues into the discussion, end users and consultants bringing expertise and focus to areas they are most interested in, Use Case organization and development experts, and project leaders who organize the overall project and review processes.
Development, documentation, test teams and others can provide this project materials they want user feedback on prior to release to help ensure the user is getting what they need to be successful.
Below is a list of example technology areas that individuals or groups can focus on. This categorization is used to make it easier to find specific use cases and the the Use Case Project team can adjust it as needed.
