Re: [Xen-devel] Define a new Wiki part for Xen Project.



Thank you.
I'm happy to see more info, but beginners like me need experts guidance. For 
example, nowadays experts were beginners like us and we need their experiences 
for improve ourselves. OK, C programming need but which book is recommended. 
Can you introduce any book that tech software developing?

 I don't think it's
 quite the right thing and what Geze is looking for. I
 think it's more about, which books, where
 do you find API docs/design
 docs/..., how to
 build/test/troubleshoot, etc. - I think we have a lot of
 this all over the place with a few gaps.
 
 I think the challenge is that
 what we write down would need to make sense
 for a newbie. So it would have to be
 A) written by someone else - tested by a
 newbie
 B) written by someone who is just
 getting started, e.g. someone starting
 on
 Outreachy
 
 @George: this
 could be something which may be worthwhile discussing
 with
 Rojas
