[Antelope] Fwd: * newbie alert *

[Hank Ratzesberger]

Michael,

I don't know what replies you have received off-list, but
there are actually many people on this list to whom
I am grateful for the help I have received over the years,
also having started from a blank page.

Even so, I agree that there are a myriad of options but
not a lot of deployment examples. I also continue to
wonder if I am doing things in the "usual way" or
"the way we used to do it before feature X was ready" and
so forth.

I agree that we should develop some conventions and best
practices and perhaps these can be agreed to or a public wiki
opened up where they can be posted an commented on.

In the mean time, I use these:

o Always use the directory structure created by rtinit
o If you want your database to have another name then, rtinit my-db-name
o Run orb2db from the same system as the orb (localhost)
o "Pull" data at the most stable system from field sites
    i.e. orb2orb remote-field-site:6610 localhost:6610

And I have a lot more if want.  Perhaps some on the
list disagree with the above....

Best,
Hank
