All,

Reading some responses in the Tomcat 9.0 EOS (EOL?) announcement, I think we may have a documentation problem.

For example, every item listed under "Downloads" on the web site has a corresponding item under "Documentation" except for the Migration Tool and Taglibs.

The existing documentation (assuming a user doesn't want to read code or javadoc, etc.) is pretty much limited to two places:

1. The MT download page (https://tomcat.apache.org/download- migration.cgi) which doesn't tell you ANYTHING about what it is

and

2. The GitHub README.md file (https://github.com/apache/tomcat- jakartaee-migration/blob/main/README.md)


I propose that we add at least *something* to the public web site. Are there any objections to me adding some documentation for MT?

The README.ms file is mostly about "how" and not" what" or "why". So my proposal is to summarize what MT can do and how it can help you migrate your project from Java EE to Jakarta EE so you can transition from Tomcat 9 to Tomcat 10+.

Are you thinking going this in the migration tool repo or directly in the site repo?
