[edit] 1st pass at cleanup
I made a first pass at cleaning this up. I cut out some good-sized chunks that looked like hype or author's personal speculations. We may decide that some of this should be added back in. -- Writtenonsand 23:29, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Comment on 1st pass at cleanup
Good job clearing up the first few areas, as they really were cut straight from the product website. Distilling the additional commentary section to two words seemed somewhat heavy handed, even if the author of that section was being speculative. At the least, the comparitive merits between a LiveCD, U3, and the BlackDog seemed like a valid point to raise. Additionally, the concept of a personal/symbiotic/parasitic server is thought provoking enough that something should have been left, though I am at a loss as to how to reword such an idea.
[edit] If you need any clarification
I'm a BlackDog developer. I have this hardware unit, have developed for the platform, and have met the team at OSBC. Perhaps I can provide some help cleaning up the article.
The information on K9, the next generation model, is pure speculation. The product roadmap keeps changing, so it's not clear what the new product will actually include. There have been about four separate prototypes, all with different features. I should be among the first few to receive the new unit, so I'll update this section when it arrives. Until then, it's no more or less accurate than the marketing materials produced by the manufacturer.
What do you suggest be done about the "fluff?" The first pass seems to have gotten rid of a lot of it. pestilence669 13:41, 7 July 2006 (PST)
