Do we need to separate cTAKES documentation versions from one another? For 
example, if we tried to build the doc, should the files all be contained within 
one top level folder or is it OK to simply use file names as distinction and 
let them all be in the same folder. I would guess the former but would like 
some guidance.

Thanks
Troy

I think the Getting Started section should be extremely simple- something like:
(I think the component diagram/dependency tree should be in the manual or 
reference appendix rather than "quick" start guide).

Requirements
-----------
Java 1.6+ is required to run cTAKES

Download
-----------
[Link to the latest download section to apache-ctakes-{release}.tar.gz/.zip] 
and unzip file.

Running the default pipeline in the UIMA CAS Visual Debugger or Collection 
Processing Engine
-----------
Run bin/runctakesCVD/CPE.sh.bat
Load AE (analysis engine)
Select 
desc/ctakes-clinical-pipeline/desc/analysis_engine/AggregatePlaintextProcessor
Enter note(s) and run analysis engine.

Notes
-----------
If you plan to use the UMLS Resources, on can add the umls user info:
Export/set ctakes.umlsuser=[username]
Export/set ctakes.umlspw=[password]
or add the system properties to the java args -Dctakes.umlsuser=[username] 
-Dctakes.umlspw=[password]

If we had references to 'component' in the previous documentation, my vote 
would be to also keep it as component; introducing a new term would probably 
just add more confusion to users.
