Dear All, I think JetSpeed team need much or more documentation. You can read below email, which issued in tomcat mailing list. A lot of people confused with open source project becuase less documentation, and less tips, and I think, JetSpeed is one of them. I use JetSpeed in more than 4 months, and I still got problem, thousand question, and un-answered. If you wish, would you give your time for this, this will benefit all of you in next step of JetSpeed development. I can help you set up a methodology for JetSpeed implementation, so new user or new commer in JetSpeed can understand and learn JetSpeed in a couple days.
