about missing manuals around Illumian, OpenIndiana and napp-it
I'm aware, that my english is not perfect but i suppose it does not help if i write manuals in perfect German (my mother language). I invite all to help with a better manual - related to napp-it as well as Illumian and OpenIndiana regarding language and content.
Recently I started to move my manuals to bookie.cc see http://booki.cc/illumian-openindiana-napp-it-the-missing-manual/_info/ where it is possible to collaborate writing manuals under a open licence. I invite all to help writing manuals not only about napp-it but also about things in OpenIndiana and the difference to Ilumian or Solaris 11 (this is the annoying part). You can also start books there. Linking between them may give a manual some day replacing Oracle docs (the differences are growing) or the old OpenSolaris bible (too outdated)

Just a thought but a wiki site would make more sense for a multi user updated help and info. Note that because of wiki spam I would recommend makeing it a more closed down wiki that requires a login etc. You don't get a printable book out of it but it is much more dynamic and can be linked into napp-it dirrectly a lot easier I would think.
Also I was wondering about napp-it itself. Is there anyway we can help improve the english menues and descriptions displayed by the web UI? have you written it in german and then added english localization text? If you have you may be able to let others update just this localization text for you without haveing to hand out access to your main source. having perfect english in the interface won't make it work any better but it will make it seem a lot more proffessional and finished.
