Add / expand help / Q&A for using NCI OOD?

[Thomas-Moore-Creative]

Is it appropriate / useful to document platform specific Q&A in the guide?

Is this in scope & helpful?

If so how best to build an Q&A for NCI OOD as individuals hit issues and find solutions? Do we dump into the top platform page in the tree or make sub-pages for platforms?

Suggest breaking that platforms page up - make the top level a sort of index page listing the platforms, and move the content for each into sub-pages (though maybe put OOD and Gadi on the same page as one NCI page?). Then add an FAQ section to that page? I'm very happy to contribute to FAQs, I was on the receiving end of NCI help emails for the old VDI for the longest time and I think not that much has changed with the OOD :)

hi @Thomas-Moore-Creative , I broke the content up, but in looking at the OOD FAQs it looks like most of them are covered already, though another thing has come up on the ARCCSS slack that I'll add, plus addressing the fixes @paigem identified. Could you please review the platforms area and particularly the OOD page and make any changes you'd like, once #62 is merged? thanks!

I think we can close this as I believe this issue has been addressed.

However, I have not documented the fact that the Jupyter launch info indicates you give a path to a conda env, but in practise you need to give the full path to source python. I am happy to add this "gotcha" as it comes up a lot, but it's so ubiquitous I assume it's surely just a matter of time till NCI fix their instructions!? The OOD is fine but the ARE info is misleading.
