74 How can a vendor get information into the product summaries? (Configuration Management Tools)
If you know of a tool you believe should be represented in one of
the CM FAQ product lists, first please make certain it actually
relates to software configuration managment, the topic covered by
this FAQ. (For example, Help Desk tools have their own FAQ and are
not covered here.) If it appears the tool should be included,
please send the product name, preferred company address, phone,
email (if any) contact information and supported platforms to the
editor:
dwe@arde.com
so it may be included in the address portion of a future issue.
Please follow the format used in the product summaries. Error
corrections to this information are also accepted from vendors.
By request, the content of these FAQs is intended to be
user-supplied, relatively short, and free from obvious extremes of
opinion. (There are plenty of opportunities for company advertising
elsewhere.) If you want to have a paragraph or two included, please
have a user or customer post their views to the newsgroup (copying
this editor via email would help ensure that it is seen.) Such
additions will be edited, combined with other responses, and
included in the product summary section of a future issue as time
permits. (If your customers do not post to this newsgroup and
cannot be encouraged to do so, vendors may submit two or three
factual, non-marketing sentences to describe their product. These
may be edited and included at the discretion of the FAQ editor as
time permits.) Vendors are invited to correct any erroneous factual
information noted in the FAQs.
Features described should represent existing product, not future
plans. The one exception which has proven of value is to allow the
FAQ to indicate platform ports in progress which will be delivered
"soon". This should help customers determine candidate tools, since
there is a long lead time required for a site to choose and
implement a CM environment.
Users should refer to the answer to question [1.18].
