Every week the Pentaho team makes a concerted effort to improve our documentation. As anyone who has worked on an open source project can attest, there is never enough time to write all of the code you want to write and write all of the documentation you would like to accompany it.
Fortunately, we have a strong community that graciously contributes gems via forums and email discussions on successfully tackling frequently performed tasks. So we have dedicated this portion of our developer's site to publishing these technical gems so that the rest of the community can benefit from tested, "single-path-of-execution" solutions to everyday problems. Hopefully, you will find just the solution you are looking for here. If not, you can always post your dilemma in our forums here.
If you have an idea for a tech tip you would like to write, please contact communityconnection@pentaho.org
Please get involved and send us feedback on these articles!
