There is a whole lot of text that only really concerns installation of Arch. I personally don't really see the point of that part since the Arch installation docs are excellent already. It may very well be that you add some information on top of what's already on the Arch Wiki, but please consider de-bundling it from the Xen stuff. The stuff relating to installing Xen are good and clear. I still haven't read the articles on the Arch Wiki related to Xen, but having an "opinionated example" is a good thing. (I suspect the Arch Wiki is written in more general terms, in which case your document can serve as a real-world example, sort of like an instance of a template.) If you want the text to be more easily consumable I think it needs a bit of basic layouting, e.g. markdown or putting it on the Arch Wiki (I liked Ian's suggestion of using your own user's page). The text suggests it's targeting Windows users who adventure into Linux in order to explore virtualisation, so maybe some Windows-related site might be an even better fit? In any case *I* think the text relating to Xen is good and clear enough to move the discussion to some other community, Arch, Windows, ... That way you'll get feedback from your target group instead of from Xen zealots. :) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@xxxxxxxxxxxx jabber: magnus@xxxxxxxxxxxx twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-users
