I'm responding to the previously included message. I have suggested that Orion look
at the documentation provided by W3C, the World Wide Web Consortium, on it's Jigsaw
server (which is similar in design to the Orion server). W3C is in the process of
creating a three hundred or so page PDF format manual. While I don't expect Java
developers to create that extensive documentation, this documentation could be farmed
out to some technical writers. What will also be useful is further articles, such as
those provided at www.jollem.com.

If Orion included documentation that was half as decent as their most
excellent server then perhaps the volume of confused, didn't read the
readme.txt file, newbie questions would decrease.
Where are the bird's-eye view diagrams - server architecture, topology,
relationships between xml files etc? Not that hard for a good developer to
knock up, and clearer by far than pages of liner descriptions.
