Title: Re: Moved New Deployment Guides

Hmm,

I'm not sure how Wiki is more inflexible than a document you can't easily update and distibute? :) And while I would describe Wiki many ways, inflexible is not one of them :).

 

Not throw gas on a fire - but I'm just curious can you explain how that consenus was reached?

Tom,

We've been bludgeoning each other over this for the last several months
solid and I think the consensus we've come to is that the deployment
guides need to be able to and are capable of presenting information in
a way that the rigid structure of a Wiki just can't.  These are also
fairly monolithic documents which won't require much modification,
ideally.  Other information which is more malleable and provides a
cross-reference into the deployment information, such as a FAQ-style
material covering common scenarios, will live in the Wiki and point
into the deployment guides.  Does that sound reasonable?

If you have individual comments I would be happy to incorporate them. 
I don't foresee this as being a frequent occurrence.

Thanks,
Nate.
