This looks great! We get waaay too many questions on axis-user that are repeats. And we haven't had the bandwidth to monitor it as well as we'd like. Your document should go a long way in answering many of the axis-user questions.

Subject: RE: Axis Technical Writer
Hi,
Glyn Normington already introduced me.
Let me add some remarks.
My Name is Thomas Herbstreuth, I'm 41 years old, married, one son, live in
Stuttgart-Germany and besides writing tech docs without being paid, i write
tech
docs i'm paid for, teach courses (mainly Perl, CGI and for another customer
VB, VBA)
and play the saxophone (no sane person would pay me for _that_).
I have a long experience with SGML (but from the documentation side - in
conjunction with
FrameMaker), so XML is a familiar concept that has some new aspects in the
way it's used
as a data format.
I started to work with Java about a year ago - so don't look to close at the
code
i'm producing. But i don't think, thats an obstacle.
Anyway, in a starter-guide the focus should be somewhere else.
The point in a starter guide is to manage software installation and
configuration,
to get a client running, a service running and to manage the deployment.
And that's what i would like to write and contribute.
And i have fresh memory of all the pitfalls i stumbled into.
A first outline can be found at
http://212.9.161.117/startAxisSnapshot/doc/startAxis.htm
As you will be seeing, there is not to much flesh on these bones. It's the
outline and a lot
of placeholders.
To fill the gaps, i need some support from the tech side, since
i have an overall picture of the concepts but need people i can ask specific
questions.
I'm not too familiar with teamwork via CVS and team members in different
locations, so please
if you think you can cover a certain area of expertise, contact me at
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
and tell me which sort of question i can ask you.
I would like to have a list afterwords
- Deploy dies, ask A, B, C
- HTTP Header has wrong syntax, ask B, C, F
etc.
I'm really curious what kind of feedback i will get on this post...
Bye,
Thomas
