Hello folks,
I'd be interested as well. Doing it in conjunction with augmenting the
existing Jakarta Tomcat/Catalina documentation might be advisable as well,
e.g., the Jakarta Tomcat FAQ
http://jakarta.apache.org:8080/jyve-faq/Turbine/screen/MainMenu/action/SetAl
l/screen/DisplayTopics/faq_id/12/project_id/2
as well as making use of the searchable mailing list archives
http://mikal.org/interests/java/tomcat/index.html (tomcat-user)
http://w6.metronet.com/~wjm/tomcat/ (tomcat-dev)
Perhaps having a mini-FAQ posted to the list daily or weekly would be of use
as well, to highlight a bit the fact that there is some existing information
regarding Tomcat (and Catalina) configuration, troubleshooting, etc.? (Have
to ponder that a bit, content-wise.)
Regards,
Joel Parramore
