Hi all,

Firstly, thanks so much for your work. A lot of us are using aolserver 
everyday so this is welcome !!

I'm not a hard developer but in my projects it's been hard students to 
install and use aolserver). And I think it's because documentation and 
installation:
  1. TCL API and Config Files
  2. "Packaged Installation" (batteries included)
  3. Some Case Studies and Complete Examples with API (something simple).

Only some ideas. Great Work!
Cesáreo
