1. General 

   A. Please explain the details of your project/request and note
      what service or feature will you be providing to the 
      OpenSolaris community.  Please provide links to any 
      existing documentation or to a test site if one exists.
      
      The project information is available at:
           http://wikis.sun.com/display/CmdAssist/Home

     The purpose of this project (Command Assistant) is to provide 
     an easy access to OpenSolaris documentations and manpages
     in the context of specific command usage to users. 
     
     We plan to deliver a small application into OpenSolaris 
     distribution. This application will connect with a web service
     on OpenSolaris.com to retrieve relevant information, and
     provide the contents back to users.
     What we are requesting is the hosting of: 
     
       a. Web service, which provides the information access 
          functionality to users.
       b. Pre-parsed index files(Lucene format).
       c. Web hosting of OpenSolaris documentation and manpages (*1)
       
       (*1) We could possibly use existing documentation hosted
            by the OpenSolaris documentation community. 
            On the other hand, Solaris marketing recommended 
            that the actual documents should be hosted at
            OpenSolaris.com. The details of the documentation
            hosting is TBD. The essential part of this request
            is the sebservices (a.). 


   B. What do you hope to achieve with your project/request?
    
     By providing this service to the OpenSolaris users, we can 
     offer an easy information access to users. For example, when
     a user is trying to figure out how to use "zpool" command,
     he/she can find the exact use of zpool command examples
     in the document with one single click from the desktop.
     
     This would allow users better and easier way of learning
     OpenSolaris technology, hence contributing to OpenSolaris
     adoption. In adition, we can offer "sponsored links"
     as well such that the users will have quicker access to 
     subscription and trainings. 
     

   C. How will the OpenSolaris community benefit from the implementation 
      of this request?

     As described in B., users and the community can learn the
     exact use of commands much more quickly than existing 
     infrastructure. 

   D. What is the business case for implementing this request?

     Attract more users to use OpenSolaris.
     
     OpenSolaris has great technology. OpenSolaris has better set
     of documentation than Linux distributions in general. However,
     the information access is not always straightforward. 
     This will improve the information access to OpenSolaris users. 
     It also enables possible monetization to Sun's business. 
     
     The prototype was demo'ed to Tim Cramer and Dan Roberts.
     They both recommend this function to be available as soon as
     possible.

   E. What BU owns this functionality?

      Software, GPD

   F. What team owns this functionality?

      Globalization

   G. Provide contact information for this functionality (must be
      mailing lists, not individuals):

      Primary engineering contact:
          pu.chen@sun.com

      Secondary contact (for use for escalations or when no one on
      the primary contact list responds):

2. Please note the request type

  [*] Link on opensolaris.com

  [ ] Use of single sign-on capability by an application
      running on a different website (not on opensolaris.com).

  [*] Run an application or service in a standard zone on
      opensolaris.com.


3. Implementation Details 

   A. What software will be run (names and version #s)?

      GlassFish Server v2

   B. Does your functionality require an IP address?

      YES

   C. Does your functionality require an SSL certificate?

      NO

   D. If your functionality will run in a zone, the fully-qualified
      domain name (FQDN) will be <zonename>.opensolaris.com.  Please
      Please define <zonename>:

      ComdAssist

4. Resource Detail

   A. Please provide disk space/CPU/memory requirements

      space : 6G
      CPU   : no special requirement
      memory: 2G
      web container: Glassfish V2

   B. Please describe the type of use you expect your project/
      functionality to get.  I.e., how many people will access/use
      it how often and for what purpose(s)?

      A web service will be deployed on OpenSolairs.com. This web 
      service provides index lookup functions to map user's
      command input to the exact URLs of documentation sections.
