I had once created a getting started (that was for the standalone server in non-embedded mode). Here is the link to it http://openejb.apache.org/3.0/getting-started.html Confluence has a really nice tab feature where we could add the following tabs on the getting started page:- Standalone server, embedded mode, embedded in tomcat Each of these could have tabs under them for Eclipse, Netbeans, IDEA, Notepad All of them should be accompanied with downloadable code, so that the user does not have to type in anything and just download, deploy and run. Basically, the idea is that the user actually "sees something running" as quickly as possible and also has the example source code and the setup instructions for their favorite IDE. There should be ZERO mention of maven in the whole document. Most of the people I encounter do not use maven at all ( a very small fraction uses maven). There might be a better way to do this, but I thought that a "Getting Started" document structured the above way would be able to cater most of the audience. We should also advertise teh getting started link nicely on the home page. I am pretty hopeful of this thing working. Would be fun to see the google analytics numbers and see whether we were able to retain "more" first time visitors with this approach :) > > > Jacek > > -- > Jacek Laskowski > Notatnik Projektanta Java EE - > http://www.JacekLaskowski.pl<http://www.jaceklaskowski.pl/> > -- Karan Singh Malhi
