Title: Contribs vs HowTo's
Post by: p-jones on February 08, 2009, 02:59:56 AM

We have to sections in the Wiki - Howto's and Contribs. There seems to be enormous overlap. Is there some obscure logic to this that I have missed ?

eg OpenVPN has contribs associated with it but the info in in Howto's. There are more.

The criteria that determines if a packege is considered a contrib is listed here:
http://wiki.contribs.org/Category:Contrib

to quote:
SME Server contribs are software packages that are designed to add extra functionality to SME Server.

To be listed on this page, the contrib should comply with these rules:

    * Be available in the smecontrib repository
    * Have a wiki page with install and usage instructions, following the template listed on the talk page.
    * Have a Bugzilla Contribs Component

For more information on releasing a contrib refer to the Releasing Contribs and Package Modification pages. Maintaining smecontribs is a community process, if you find a bug or outdated smeserver-rpm please raise a bug, preferably with a fix.
