Hi Jason,
how is the installation doc coming, do you need any help on the confluence side?
I saw what you started to work on the "Getting the source code" section, I would suggest to keep
this task simple. We do not want to _scare_ the users with way too complicated commands and
parameters, all at once.
There are basically four steps to get the source and build Geronimo, so I would
focus on those first.
1.- svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/tags/1.0.0/
<geronimo_home>
2.- cd <geronimo_home>
3.- maven m:fresh-checkout
4.- maven new
Then, the next time you want to build you just do an update
1.- cd <geronimo_home>
2.- maven m:update
3.- maven m:fresh-checkout
4.- maven new
(BTW, all the steps should be validated and make sure they are up-to-date)
Once you explained the basics then you can go more in detail with all the other options for
retrieving the source code and building Geronimo. It would also be nice to include common building
errors, how to identify them, probable causes and solutions.
Again, this is just a suggestion. What you think about this approach?
As for update preference, I think is best to update as you go so everybody can test your
instructions and provide early comments that will make corrections (if any) easier.
Cheers!

Hi,
I am starting on the Installation section of the docs
- I have been running around like a maniac doing stuff
(mostly holiday things) - so I am a bit slow to
produce. But I am setting aside some time each day to
contribute more and more to the docs. If you start to
see me go off base - please feel free to call me out
:-D
Also - is the preference to complete a section and
then update? I started and updated but it is not
complete.
Thanks,
Jason
