I second all of that and would like to add a request that each new release

As a strategy, that's an excellent idea. Curing world hunger is another, but
executing is another thing.
Where we have a failure as a community right now it the document we have at
http://incubator.apache.org/ofbiz/docs/GettingAndUsingOFBiz.pdf
which probably is an old version, with incorrect links
(it points to http://svn.ofbiz.org/ which tosses a 403 error page),
(it points to
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBTECH/OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setup+Guide
which needs a little more hand holding, and as well points to
http://svn.ofbiz.org/ which tosses a 403 error page),
(it points to http://www.sequoiaerp.org/ which hasn't been around in 10 months).
This page is slightly better http://incubator.apache.org/ofbiz/docs/setup.html
but it sill suffers from non-linear thought process
As soon as the dust settles on getting us out of the "incubator" I am completely
confident we'll have bulletproof installation, startup, and next step guides in
place.
