Hi, My one remaining concern is future maintenance of the documents: what we host we have to maintain. It's enough work maintaining the tomcat documentation current as it is right now. But maybe if we place your documentation as part of the FAQ (e.g. here: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/unix.html), then it's not as big a deal. Tim?
