Hi Aaron,

It is great to see so much content in your "work-in-progress". I understand
that some of the content is still to be verified so I'll come back when I've
had a chance to test/verify whatever I can.

One point I'd like to put across though is that the structure of the manual
should better reflect the different knids of people/roles that it is
targetted at (I am not keen on multiple manuals). I *really* like Kunle's
structure in the FAQ document where he has the document logically divided
for Bean Developers, Server Administrators and Container Developers.

My view is that the manual should cater for (and be organized logically for)
Bean Developers and Server Administrators. Container Developers are a
different breed entirely and a separate "Hackers guide to jBoss
spoon-bending..." should be considered for them.

Quick attempt at logical partitioning (with input from Kunle):

        General
          - Introduction (to the jBoss Suite of programs)
          - Installation
                - jBoss
                - spyderMQ
                - ....
                - ...
          - Troubleshooting
          - Support

        Server Administrator
          - jBoss
                - Start/Stop
                - Client Configuration
                - Server Configuration
                - Deploying EJBs
                  - Managing jBoss
          - spyderMQ
                - Start/Stop
                - Client Configuration
                - Server Configuration
                - spyderMQ Management & Tools
          - Third-party Integration (server-side)
                - Tomcat
                - Resin
                - etc...

        Bean Developer
          - Intro to devloping with jBoss (incl. Bean Developer Licensing issues)
          - Developing with EJB (jBoss)
          - Developing with JMS (spyderMQ)
          - Third-party tools (useful to developers)
                - Cocobase
                - Castor
                - Kawa
                - etc...


Cheers!,

Micheal
