New type of document on VIOPS: Resources

We are going great guns in getting proven practices on VIOPS; people are finding new uses for them - lately, Guy Chapman of Sungard has been using VIOPS for peer review. His latest Re: Trusted SSL certificates - request for peer review has involved VMware security engineers, PSO, SEs...

The VIOPS team thinks there is another use for document on VIOPS - Resources. The idea here is to build on Eric Siebert's vmware-land.com page of links.

Why do this in VIOPS?

We think this captures the essence of what we are trying to do with this community - provide a space where community members can help each other, and with VIOPS have a direct channel to VMware staff - which also works the other way! (where else do you get that?).
Leverage the high-quality of expertise out there without having to have articles imported/re-written for VIOPS - with the added bonus that, if it is linked to from VIOPS then the community is saying that the external article is good quality. If a resource is bad quality, the community will remove it. Therefore, this new resource feature is self-policing.

The first example of a resource is Resources: Virtual Machines

Check it out, let us know what you think by commenting on the doc, or posting a new discussion.
