With all due respect and recognition to the enormous efforts you personally appear to have put into making Tomcat accessible, the documentation is neither comprehensive nor adequate, for either Tomcat or whatever is the connector du jour. There are pockets of good documentation, such as your how-tos and seemingly tireless presence on this mail list, surrounded by lots of chaffe---incomplete, inaccurate, out-of-date, even non-existent files inside of tarballs or littered around the jakarta.apache.org website.
If people don't want to write documentation, they won't, and there's not
a lot you can do to persuade them.
I'm not playing the 'use the source Luke' card, I'm just telling you
how it is. In my experience of Open Source projects, all ranting does
is getting you killfiled.
I still need help and hope to get answers to my questions when I plunge back in and try to get a working mod_jk.
And really, I do understand how open source works, and how nobody is obligated to document to my standards. And I also hear John when he says "put up or shut up."
Since I can't "put up" until I know more and can make it work on my own damn machine, I'll shut up now (until I start posting the Qs).

The real fix for this is to put the website docs into CVS and let people
send patches. Then people who like writing documentation can write docs,
and the coders can get on with coding.
Maybe it's already in CVS. I couldn't find any docum... oh :D
Craig (or anyone), do we have an address to recieve doc patches?
