I see a couple of possible solutions for this:
1. be patient and give us a break
2. get involved and help out
Right now we are in the process of a few major migrations, including
(but not limited to):
1. total refactoring and reorganizing of documentation and moving
from the old site html files to pages on the docs.ofbiz.org
Confluence site
2. migrating from the ASF incubator resources to the ASF top level
project resources
3. we recently moved the old OFBiz server to a new box at Contegix
(this is my guess as to why svn.ofbiz.org no longer goes anywhere
useful; that was a bad idea from the beginning and we will be
changing links going forward instead of trying to keep that going)

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.
