Is the Guide Ready?

--Lars.kurth 15:44, 6 December 2011 (UTC) Hey Joseph, thanks for doing all this work. Let me know when you feel comfortable enough to publish the page on Category:Beginners. I was thinking of creating a new trailbox or including it into one of the existing ones at the top of the category.

--JosephGlanville Hi Lars, thanks for the props and apologies it has taken me so long to get back to this. Very busy at this stage in time. I will polish the guide off over the Christmas break and we can push it through then. :)

HELP

Hi Guys, I am trying to follow the guide for a test installation but unfortunately the link provided to Debian OS is non functional. Im not so sure if i can download a random OS, so can you please double check or confirm if any version would suffice, thank you.

--JosephGlanville Hi, this has been fixed. Sorry for the confusion.

Xen Project Document Day is This Wednesday, July 30: Beginner's Guide needs [updating](Russ Pavlicek)

This is a reminder that next Wednesday, July 30, is Xen Project Document Day.

Xen Project Document Day is a day to help improve overall Xen Project documentation, particularly that of the Wiki.

This month, it would be great if we could include the incomplete bits needed for the Beginner's Guide, including at least one decent diagram and some of the missing information called out in the Architecture section:

http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Beginners_Guide

All the information you need to participate in Document Day is here:

http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Document_Days

If you get a few moments in the next week, please take a look at the current TODO list to see other items which need attention:

http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Document_Days/TODO

So please think about how you can help out. If you haven't requested to be made a Wiki editor, save time and do it now so you are ready to go on Document Day. Just fill out the form below:

http://xenproject.org/component/content/article/100-misc/145-request-to-be-made-a-wiki-editor.html

We hope to see you Wednesday in #xendocs!

A brief look at Xen Project architecture

To understand how storage, networking and other resources are delivered to guest systems we need to quickly delve into how the different bits of the software interact.
