Robert,

I've finished up the interview questions and you can find theme here:
http://www.montanalinux.org/files/robert-nelson-interview.html

I've posted this to the mailing list so others can see the questions I've come up with and perhaps contribute any additional questions they'd like to see... although I think I was pretty complete. :)

Take your time, answer them however you want to.  Skip any questions you don't feel like answering.  If there are any questions you'd like added, add them.  If there are already web resources that address specific pieces of questions, feel free to provide links to them or quote from them to save yourself some time.  Use paragraphs.  Several of the questions are actually multiple questions.  If you want to split those up, feel free to do so.  If you need any clarifications on anything, just let me know.

Submitting your answers: Feel free to email me directly (dowdle at montanalinux.org) or post your answers to this mailing list if you feel like it.  In any event, it'll take me a little time to process your answers... format them for my website... and get the content posted... although I should be able to get it all done the same day.

If you are so inclined, I'd love to have a picture of you to include.

If any straggler questions happen to show up from others on the mailing list... and you answer them... I can either update the content or add them as comments to the content... but we'll play that by ear.

If anyone wants an example of what the final product will look like, check out either of these two previous interviews I've done:

Suno,

I have a question near the end about the future of vzpkg2 and documentation.  I'm guessing Robert's answer to that will play into when and how the documentation you are looking for come into play.

TYL,
