I think this is a good starting point.

What about the format of the User Guide? I think that one of the
inhibitors we have is the lack of a well laid out website.

Personally I like the Spring Framework manual. Any other good
resources we could emulate?

I was thinking about the following TOC for the Synapse user guide:



Introduction

            What is Synapse?

            Explain different deployment models

            Installation

            Starting Synapse

Build a simple mediation

            The basics of the Synapse Configuration Language

            How to write a mediation flow?

            Deploying the mediation flow

Examples

Build a validation mediation flow

Build a transformation mediation flow

Routing the message to the right endpoint

Advanced mediation scenarios

            WS-Security example

            WS-Reliable Messaging example

Extending Synapse

            Using the Class mediator

            Developing your own mediator

            Developing a Spring mediator



The examples should be based on a simple business scenario to my opinion,
like for example buying a book.

Then we can make examples with search for a particular book, requesting
details of a book based on an ISBN, and buying the book.

Let me know if you think this is going to the right direction.

Hi Tijs

 As a user of Synapse, could you suggest a format/TOC for a Synapse user
guide as an initial step? I would then add more topics which you may not
have come across yet (e.g. Dynamic sequences, Policy stuff etc) Then we
could go into writing the actual content for these. I would like to use a
simple set of good examples to demonstrate and follow through with the text
- any suggestions on this aspect is also good. I would assume that as a
"user" you would have encountered some issues which people like us may fail
to notice the importance of, and would thus like to hear about your
suggestions.

 thanks

As I posted earlier on this mailinglist, I am working together with a
colleague on a book about Enterprise Integration Patterns where we use
Synapse for the web service implementation. I think we already have a good
introduction about Synapse with examples.
So the suggestion from Asankha to make a Axis2 alike user guide with a test
repository so one can directly run the examples is great to me.
I would be willing to help create an user guide with examples with input
from the Synapse developers.

Maybe something like the Axis2 user guide with a *good* set of
examples..? It would also be good to ship a test repository for an Axis2
instance against which these good examples could be directly run by
someone who downloads this.

Any suggestions? Any volunteers?
