How Hedeby is being introduced:

In large enterprises, hosts are often divided among different services (e.g. N1GE), and the services themselves are seen as assigned pools of resources (e.g. hosts). When a service is overwhelmed with work one solution may be to remove resources from a service which is not overburdened or less important and assign those resources to the overloaded service. The Hedeby project was established to provide this functionality automatically... (http://hedeby.sunsource.net/)

As reported in this mailing list thread, a first draft version of a Hedeby documentation book has been committed to the project's CVS repository. The book has been transformed and made available as a PDF by an interested member of the SGE community.

Fred Youhanaie found the book and was able to successfully transform the Docbook XML into PDF form. The transformed PDF is available at http://www.anydata.co.uk/gridengine/HedebyBook.pdf

The Hedeby developers may not be incredibly pleased to see a first-draft, first-commit documentation effort grabbed from CVS and instantly made available as PDF so some some standard warnings and caveats should apply. The only people who should check this PDF out are people interested in what Hedeby is, how it is being architected and what some of the first initial use cases are envisioned to be. All other non or semi-interested parties should just relax, sit back and let Hedeby development continue until something is actually officially released.
