folks - open source projects are infamous for late/weak documentation. This is all volunteer work and everyone knows that programmers are not the best people to be writing documentation. However, this is how this works. I'm confident that if you wanted to offer your services to write documentation, the team would gladly accept. This is one of the risks of using open source software. It's not for the faint of heart. You're not going to find a nice neat place to go look for answers. There are newgroups, like this one, were many issues are discussed and resolved daily. I suggest using this forum for constructive purposes, as there are many people out there counting on this forum for timely answers. No one wants to hear complaints if you don't have a solution. If using FREE open source software is too much of a risk, I suggest using a different product.
Just my two cents... -----Original Message----- From: Catalin Constantin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: October 07, 2002 9:07 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: JK2 Installation http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-connectors/jk2/release/v2.0. 1/src/ i don't think that is beta ! they should've said it is beta :) no -beta- inside the release filename ! :) Catalin ----- Original Message ----- From: Turner, John To: 'Tomcat Users List' Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 4:57 PM Subject: RE: JK2 Installation I agree that documentation is important. My point was that if you have experience with open source projects, which are usually quite short on documentation, you would expect that a BETA open source project would have EVEN LESS documentation than a released project, and go from there. My advice would be to search the list archives, there have been many posts over the last several weeks dealing with installing and using JK2. In addition, a new version has been announced (2.0.1) so perhaps the documentation available in the source package has been updated along with the source code itself, even if the HOWTO on the website hasn't.
