Hi folks;
First, a huge apology for my unresponsiveness over the last few weeks.
It's
hard for me to admit when I'm stretched beyond my ability to help out,
especially when it's not clear when time will be available again. So, I'm
very sorry for the frustration and disappointment I've caused. If I
couldn't help, I should at the very least have communicated that openly.
I'm also sorry that the website building instructions in the Publican
User
Guide didn't work as expected; Jeff and I are puzzled by this, because
nothing about this process has changed lately. That said, even if the
instructions are technically correct, they're useless if people can't
follow them to get to a working instance.
So, what next?
I am still extremely stretched, both at work and at home, so my
availability is
likely to be patchy into the near future
I think the best help I can be is to work on a few small tasks that can
keep us
moving forward. To that end, I'm going to verify the Publican
website installation instructions and hoping that other folks can replicate
what I'm doing, first on test boxes, and then, when we're comfortable, in
production. I hope that we can avoid a situation where only one person
knows how to do these things! I'll use a page on the wiki to track my
progress, which maybe later can form the blueprint of how to re-create or
recover this system if necessary:

Once again, my sincere apologies for letting you all down recently.
Cheers
Rudi
You're in good company - I think most of us in Docs have had times where
our enthusiasm gets ahead of us :)
Everyone wants more time in the day, and more ability to spend that time
diversely. I'd like to contribute to Publican and the Fedora brand, for
example, but life gets in the way. We've talked when you've had time, and
I've always been improved by it. I can't ask for more than that.
