1. Open Source Documentation
The good The bad
And the WTF ?!

5. I'm all in favor
of keeping
dangerous weapons
out of the
hands of fools.
Let's start with
typewriters.

9. Unprovided with
original learning,
unformed in the
habits of thinking,
unskilled in the arts
of composition,
I resolved
to write a book.

19. In certain kinds of
writing ... it is
normal to come
across long passages
which are almost
completely
lacking in
meaning.

20. CloudForms, which is based upon the company-sponsored
DeltaCloud project that is now part of Apache– offer
sophisticated resource management, application deployment
services and Infrastructure-as a Service offerings that help IT
adminstrators implement private and hybrid clouds.
The platform consists of a cloud engine for high level
automation and abstraction services across multiple
virtualization hypervisors and virtualized clusters, an
application engine and system engine for comprehensive
application lifecycle management across multiple cloud
providers and various Infrastucture -as-a-Service offerings
including storage, messaging and high availability services.

22. Typos are very
important to all
written form.
It gives the reader
something to look for
so they aren't
distracted by the
total lack of content
in your writing.

51. Advice to writers:
Sometimes you just
have to stop writing.
Even before
you begin.
