Hi :) I think there is a lot of stuff out there. Alex Thurgood or someone gave an excellent list a while ago. Hopefully that list is somewhere in the Alfresco Base space. Regards from Tom :)

Tom, have you found the "Getting Started with Base" chapter? That's one of the few docs we have on Base. There's also Mariano's Base tutorial, linked from here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation#Other_Documentation_and_Resources Jay can no doubt point you to other bits of info, drafts, etc. Your work with Access sounds like a good background for writing Base doco. As for contributing to documentation, do read the documents linked from this wiki page: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development#First_steps_with_the_Documentation_team Meanwhile, one of us will set up an account for you on the Alfresco website, where we coordinate document production. You'll get a private email with your username and password. If you don't get that within a day or so, ping us a reminder. --Jean On Tue, Jun 21, 2011 at 13:22, Tom Cloyd <[email protected]> wrote: > Greetings to you all. > > I just wanted to show and and declare myself interested in working on > documentation for Base, which I started using last week.
