Standards for posting - READ ME!!!

[Sean Gallagher]

I am going to try to establish some standards for posting extension
attributes. I am posting Extension Attributes as Pages.

I am using the format below. I think it is pretty straight forward and
easy for anyone to understand I hope you all agree. I have opted for
this, other then posting files only because I think it allows the
poster to elaborate with an explanation of the attribute, what it
works on, what it was tested against, etc... It also allows people to
see it before they download it, giving them the chance to see first
off it is something they want to use. I also think it is easy enough
to copy and paste, from the page. Please try to keep to this format
consistent. I am always open for suggestions from anyone.
As for the Subject field I would ask that we include the words listed
below at the end of the subject line as identifiers:

"Released" = for attributes that have been tested and work according
to the description.

"W.I.P." = (Work In Progress) for that still has not been vetted by
the author, (others might be able to help with.)

"Need Help" = for just that. Anyone to get help for an attribute they
are working on.

* Important!! When you post a new page I suggest you click on the
option link new the top of the new page and change the setting so only
managers can delete pages. It is set by default to anyone. I
personally won't be deleting pages but I just would not want any
accidents.

*EXAMPLE*

Desription: - List USB connected Scanners

#Check to see attached USB Scanners are connected to computer.
Devices=`system_profiler SPUSBDataType | grep -A1 -E 'Scanner'`
#Output for extension attribute
echo '<result>'$Devices'</result>'
