In getting started with Jetspeed, I am trying to follow the instructions on http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/mail-lists.html
fairly literally to see how clear they really are to a new person.


I have Apache and Tomcat working at the start of the process.

Problem 1) The instructions do not describe how to download Jetspeed or even mention the need to do this. Am I supposed to have downloaded it before I got here or am I supposed to download it through Maven between step 1 and 2.?

Problem 2) What is USER_HOME in a Windows 2000 environment.
A windows use would expect this to be C:\Documents and Settings\rwheeler\My Documents but I am not sure if that makes any sense in the context of a Tomcat server.
It needs explaining for either windows or Linux.


I hope that these comments lead to a better set of instructions that make it easy for new users. I will try to document the little issues that I run into. I know that it is hard for someone who completely understands the whole process to put themselves in the shoes of a new system administrator who has never seen the software before. It is easy to forget to mention something that seems so obvious once you have done it successfully.
