Regarding knowledge: if you want more people to have it then more effort needs to be made to spread it.
While I have got great assistance from people like@someguy123,
@deathwing and
@rishi556 the availability and accessibility of documentation on running Hive nodes is quite poor and out of date.
This is something that really needs to be remedied. There needs to be an Idiots Guide accessible on all major front-ends and hive.io.
Good job on all this, but I think it's very clear that there is heavy resistance to the idea (you can bet that more than one have been following this thread closely, and they've probably got Discord burning hot!), and that this is going to be a long haul marathon. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if you, and a few others too, might just end up being who does the documentation. Lots of work, but it'll be worth the effort. Count on me to help in any way that you think may be useful and possible. Maybe you might want to start a "Documentation Community". It's an idea that came up the other day on one of @taskmaster4450's threads. It might seem a bit like overkill, but it's really the only way to have admin control to be able to manage, update, and, ultimately control the content, and it seems to me that with the importance documentation carries with it, administrative control is absolutely necessary. Food for thought, and thanks for taking the lead. This is really good stuff. I, for one (and I'm also absolutely sure - on this one too - that I'm not alone on this), am lapping up every bit of your contributions on the subject! 😋
