So my proposal is:

* Basic User's Guide
* Advanced User's Guide
* Developer's Guide


This is fine. "Basic User's guide" is better than "Beginner's Guide".
I see the following audiences for the three:

Basic User's Guide:
People new to ApacheDS. Primarily plan to use the server as is, maybe for there first LDAP experience. They download a release and install it. Afterwards they likely use graphical clients for there first steps. Simple configuration tasks only. I recommend to have tutorial style and many examples for this one.

Advanced User's guide:
Advanced users who for instance plan to extend the server (own interceptors, partitions), or to embed it. They checkout the software from svn and build it on their own.

Developer's guide:
People who want to contribute to the software. Thus, coding styles, development method etc. are interesting.

Now what is most important is a Beginner's Guide for basic directory
operations using ApacheDS.

I will, in conjunction with Christine, concentrate on this part (Basic User's Guide) the next two or three weeks, if you like.

Greetings, Stefan
