Hi :) +1 Also i think the Alfresco-users guide hasn't been around. People that might have been able to make time to write it but didn't know much about how to use it have been dissuaded by people that do know how to but had no time.
I feel really guilty about my part in that and i think others do to which is why the issue arose. Less guilt and optimism and more arrogance would have fixed it.

I'm trying to catch up now. Having the possibility of TDF hosting is a big plus for me, so thanks for chasing that. One annoying thing to me is that I have not seen an easy and convenient way to link directly to a folder or a file in Alfresco, so I can send that link to, say, Hazel, and say "Here's a file that needs editing" or "The files are in this folder." If there is a way to link directly, please tell me. More questions coming, I'm sure.
