SCALR supplies a critical part of a modern application infrastructure
- kudos to the design team for such a great and improving product!

A ambitious project like SCALR needs an equally ambitious
documentation effort.  Frankly, I'd rather the current design team
keep working on adding features - the rest of us can help with the
documentation.  To that end, I am announcing a new documentation wiki,
the SCALR Documentation Project, hosted at scalr-wiki.org.  At this
point, it's beginnings are more than humble, but I wanted to open it
up for your contributions as soon as I could.  Currently, the pages
are fully editable by registered users.

The plan is to document the public releases as completely as possible.

I have shamelessly "borrowed" the SCALR logo and the Google scalr/wiki/
Installation page - Alex, please feel free to let me know I've
overstepped my bounds in using the logo.  I've also thrown some other
text out there, just for starters.

In these very early days, you can add value very quickly in one of two
ways:
1)  Edit the HomePage, expanding/modifying the outline of the
documentation the project needs.  Just supply bullet points - others
will fill them in.  Treat nothing you find there as sacred - I just
put some suggested topics on the page as a starter.
2)  Take one experience you've had with SCALR and document it.  Don't
worry too much about form.  Just describe the steps you took to get
some particular task done.  Give it a title, and create a link to it
from the HomePage under some appropriate bullet point.  As the list
grows, others will clean up the form, move/group topics into a more
logical framework, etc.

The users of this list have shown a remarkable depth of knowledge and
experience.  I believe that SCALR can become as important to the
internet community as Apache.  With your help, we can create
documentation to match.

With many thanks.
