I agree with N6MEF. When I first requested an allocation and how to stand up a 44GW, I was simply told I had the /24. I was stuck building a GW with only the mailing list, knowledge of networking and the Linux manual as my guide.
I had to learn about the AMPR DNS zone, *NOS, how the network works, etc. Brian was a huge help. And he told me to document how I got my 44GW working...alot of that has been incorporated into the rip44d page and setting up a Linux machine in the Wiki, not just directly by me, but through others and from this email thread, etc.
We all have been doing a good job recently by way of creating documentation by posting to to the Wiki; but it would be easier if those who have the particular experience (e.g. setting up a TNOS/JNOS node or compiling the new C++ based rip44) take time to record their steps. Perhaps even write a history of 44net...I keep a little copy/paste history and info at http://kb3vwg-010.ampr.org but I'm definitely not the AMPR historian, by experience.
I'm willing to take time to draft some things (such as the AMPR DNS and start a page listing all services I'm aware of on AMPRNet, since I maintain some services such as a non-authorative DNS slave at 44.60.44.3)...but it would be better if those with direct knowledge (e.g. the DNS admin or an owner of one of the authorative slaves) draft it (i.e. I have no clue who to talk to about considering making my server authorative).
