Hi, Stephan ,

How are you introducing new developers to using fossil for a project?
e.g. what docs (if any) do you point them to, what gotchas do you warn
them about (are there any? ;), etc.
I haven't been in a position yet where I've had to help someone else use
Fossil. However, I can say that when I first started using it myself, I
found the Fossil Concepts page
(http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/concepts.wiki) to be
extremely helpful. I really like the Branching, Forking, Merging, and
Tagging page
(http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/branching.wiki),
too. Along with the Jim Schimpf's book, the quick start guide, and
various other pages, I think Fossil is fairly well documented. Of
course, you can never have enough good documentation.
The biggest problem I had when first learning Fossil wasn't that the
documentation I needed didn't exist, but rather that I couldn't always
find what I (thought I) was looking for. I think breaking up the Fossil
doc index into categories/topics would help quite a bit.
