Folks,
I think we now have about 5 people creating install docs. Let's get
organized.
We'll need an install doc for each platform supported, with notations for
the vagaries of the different 2.2 containers under each of those OSs.
I've done the install for WinNT+Tomcat3.1+Jetspeed1.1, and sent my report to
the list, so that one should be pretty straightforward. We still need:
WinNT+JServ
WinNT+Weblogic
Linux+Tomcat
Linux+JServ
...others?
Let's not duplicate effort; let's get someone in charge of each of these.
