| | | <literal>literal values</literal>.</para> |

| | | <para>In many cases, sections pertaining to UNIX, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, BSD, |

| | | <filename>/path/to/OpenDJ</filename>, even if the text applies to |

| | | <title>Accessing OpenDJ Documentation Online</title> |
| | | |
| | | <para>Core documentation, such as what you are now reading, aims to |
| | | be technically accurate and complete with respect to the software |
| | | documented. Core documentation therefore follows a <link |
| | | xlink:href='https://wikis.forgerock.org/confluence/display/devcom/Review+Process' |
| | | >three-phase review process</link> designed to eliminate errors. The |
| | | review process should slow authors down enough that documentation you get |
| | | with a stable release has had time to bake fully.</para> |
| | | |
| | | <!-- TODO: online location of core documentation, perhaps docs.forgerock.org? --> |
| | | <para>Fully baked core documentation is available at <link |
| | | xlink:href='http://...'>...</link>.</para> |
| | | |
| | | <para>The <link xlink:show="new" |
| | | xlink:href="https://wikis.forgerock.org/confluence/display/OPENDJ">OpenDJ |
| | | Wiki</link> regularly brings you more, fresh content. In addition, you are |
| | | welcome to <link xlink:show="new" |
| | | xlink:href="https://idp.forgerock.org/openam/UI/Login?service=register">sign |
| | | up</link> and then edit the Wiki if you notice an error, or if you have |
| | | something to share.</para> |

| | | |
| | | <para>After you <link |

| | | database to follow what is happening with the project.</para> |
| | | |
| | | <para>If you have questions regarding OpenDJ which are not answered by the |
| | | documentation, there is a mailing list which can be found at |
| | | <link xlink:href='https://lists.forgerock.org/mailman/listinfo/opendj' |
| | | >https://lists.forgerock.org/mailman/listinfo/opendj</link> where you are |
| | | likely to find an answer.</para> |
| | | |
| | | <para>You can join the IRC discussion in the #opendj room at |
| | | irc.freenode.net.</para> |
| | | |
| | | <para>The Wiki has information on how to check out OpenDJ source code. |
| | | There is also a mailing list for OpenDJ development which can be found at |
| | | <link xlink:href='https://lists.forgerock.org/mailman/listinfo/opendj-dev' |
