I agree about the need, but question if it should be put in the "Bird's Eye View" document - only for a single reason: what if you are NOT using the Spring and or BPM4Struts cartridges (for example, the app I'll be working on is a Rich Client app. I'll be using Hibernate and Spring services, but not any web interfaces, thus no Struts). My intention was really for the "Bird's Eye" document to be a "meta manual." I wanted to introduce important concepts, but then link to a separate document with more details. So, based on your proposal, it would be nice to have a separate "How to use BMP4Structs artifacts" document. The "Bird's Eye View" document could then have a simple last chapter, titled "Where to go from here", and a line could be, "If you are using the BPM4Struts cartridge, see "How to use BPM4Struts artifacts". Actually, the "Bird's Eye" doc should at least give a little intro to what each existing cartridge is all about. That will help a newbie decide where they want to go! Quote: Once you know how to do it, it's pretty obvious, but for the first timer I was, there too many obvious things coming at the same time to get a grasp of the whole ... (end of quote) Amen! I think you hit the nail right on the head for a newbie. The overall challenge is figuring out "Where to start." If "Bird's Eye" continues to stay as a "meta manual", then the advice for a newbie could always be "start with that doc, then branch out from there based on your needs." _________________________________________________________ Reply to the post : http://galaxy.andromda.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3827#3827 Posting to http://forum.andromda.org/ is preferred over posting to the mailing list! ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Andromda-user mailing list Andromda-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/andromda-user
