ZenPack Developers' Guide - needs YOUR input

I have spent the last six months writing the "ZenPack Developers' Guide", a cross between Zenoss's Zenoss 3 ZenPack Developers' Guide and my own Creating Zenoss ZenPacks for Zenoss 3 paper ( https://www.skills-1st.co.uk/papers/jane/zenpacks/zenpacks3.pdf ). A draft will be available for GalaxZ (May 10 - 12, 2016).

It has LOTS of details, LOTS of examples, LOTS of screenshots.

It needs reviewers from many different backgrounds - rookie, initiated, seasoned and guru ZenPackers.

The first few pages with the table of contents can be seen at
https://github.com/ZenossDevGuide/DevGuide/blob/master/zenpacks4_5_rev1.0.1_title_to_contents.pdf

Please get in touch if you want to be part of this project.

I suggest we continue forum discussions on the ZenPack Development forum where you can also find a similar append -

Cheers,

Jane

I am extremely sorry folks but Zenoss have just posted this on the IRC Zenoss:

"[16:22] Good morning folks. Just a quick update on the impending DevGuide that Jane_Curry has been working on recently for us. We are in the process of internal review on the current draft, but due to some workload issues we'll be delayed slightly. Look for updates toward the end of next week when we expect to be finishing up the internal reviews and looking forward to releasing a draft to the community for wider review!"

I have pushed back against this - I already have the current draft largely split into more manageable chunks for reviewers - but currently, they are saying they don't want "external" reviewers at least until the end of next week.

Complaints here or to your Zenoss rep :(

Cheers,

Jane
