Hello,

Someone once said, "I feel your pain." Boy, that pissed me off. Anyway...

The scarry part is, whoever is writing the manual also wrote the
SiteGroups document. Unfortunately, what we're writing now isn't an end
user manual. It's a cross breed between a marketing and technical white
paper. Oh, well...I never gave a damned about marketing, the technical
part interests me and hopefully we'll be able to use the technical
definitions as a basis for a 2.0 user manaul. I don't think there's going
to be a 1.4 user manual.
I'm actually very happy that you've expressed your experience. I agree
with all your points. After writing SiteGroups, I couldn't stand to read
the SOB from start to finish. Then again, as far as I'm concerned it's not
my job to read it. Alot of work went into that document and it contains
all the necesarry information. In my mind, it's a dynamic Open Source
document. This means it's open for you to improve. If you have some
graphics that can improve the document, then please demonstrate them. I'll
help incorporate your ideas, if they improve the document.
Incidentally, this isn't my attitude about the material that I'm writing
while employed by Aurora.
The only way I'll return to SiteGroups and make the edits that you and I
know it needs is if someone says, "I've improved SiteGroups. Will you help
me edit the document..." Otherwise, SGs will remain as it is.
Bottom line, it's about helping each other. It doesn't matter to me how
anyone contributes or whether they do. That said, interpret my response as
a warm invitation to improve the documentation.

I wear steel toed boots.
Oh, did you get things working? I know Emile responded but didn't catch
the final outcome.
PEACE
Ron
