[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] ***SPAM*** Registering workstations and starting/stopping services

[Anoop Atre]

Regarding the second part of Jenny's email, I was hoping to see it 
documented under Part IV. of Administration under section "Starting 
Evergreen" in 1.6 docs and "Starting, Stopping and Restarting" in the 
2.0 docs.

Dan Scott mentions it in his most excellent intro to Evergreen 
development workshop available here:

http://open-ils.org/~denials/workshop.html#_starting_opensrf_services

I am not sure where we have the list of Evergreen services.

What is the best way for system administrators and developers to 
request/suggest 'what might be useful' entries into the official 
documentation? Just send out an email saying "Hey this seems like a nice 
thing we should have in the DIG docs."? Since we might stumble on to 
areas of the wiki/irc/mailing list that other staff might not as much.

Cheers

Working locations are briefly mentioned under the permissions section (http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/1.6/draft/html/permissions.html), but it is not clear that one of thepermissions that is "dependent on the user having the working location" isworkstation registration.
