Groklaw's Unix Methods and Concepts Database

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the groklaw-has-the-best-toys dept.

jbeaupre writes "Groklaw has spawned a new feature that may prove useful well beyond the current SCO litigation. The UNIX Methods and Concepts Database began as a list of books and papers on Groklaw that became so large it demanded organization. The new system was announced and is currently a work in progress."

    So Grok! is looking for some higher level taxonomy to organize information: I suggest the classic phases of computing: Input, Processing and Output. Plus Misc, of course.

    Unix, and other Linux-like systems :) has important innovations in all three areas. Processing could be further broken down by kernel tasks: memory mgmt, scheduling, threading, filesystems, device drivers. And misc.
