Hello All,

In searching the list, I turned up very little in terms of tutorial's.
I did see the wikibooks has something
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Hobbit/

Does anyone has a tutorials they'd like to share?

Are there any other wiki's available to grow the KB?

I too like the idea of a wiki.  I started one for myself at 
http://www.docum.org/twiki/bin/view/Hobbit/WebHome
I can host a hobbit wiki if people are willing to update it ;)
I'm also willing to collect hobbit patches and host scripts and pre-compiled 
clients.

I have visited the shire before, but this is not what I need.  It's not 
flexible enough.  I more like a wiki where anyone can change anything.

That is exactly the reason I started the wiki book on http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Hobbit.

But the problem is most people expect others to do the documentation.
We have too few person with good documentation skills have time to contribute.
I(don't have good doc skill) can only contribute when it is related to my hb deployment at work.
Like R1 entry.

Another approach is to encourage an author to do the work professionally. I will buy one copy if someone can get hb book publish via Orielly

TJ,

I must have missed that.  I just created an account and will contribute what I can.

It was a conscious decision to restrict the shire to ensure that the content is consistent.  I'm more than willing to add additional content (and have asked on several occasions) that is related to extending hobbit functionality.  That said, the shire is more for maintaining the external scripts available for Hobbit somewhat on the order of deadcat for BB.  Deadcat has many scripts that do the same thing...by keeping it more restricted, it was hoped to be able to avoid redundant scripts that in many cases are less functional than existing ones.  I just happen to be using a wiki as a CMS.

I haven't felt the need to contribute any documentation yet, since the man 
pages, and cfg files seem to have all the information I need. Ofcourse I am 
still working on my conversion from BigBrother to Hobbit...  so I am not 
using Hobbit in Production yet...  but so far so good.

How about a middle ground. A community "sandbox" of sorts. I place
where end users can post their content.  The content can be reviewed
before making it to "semi"-official docs.

I be glad to contribute what I can. I just happened to become recently
employed by a company that uses Hobbit as an enterprise solution. I am
expected to learn hobbit and have been compiling notes before, during,
and after install on my test box.
