Hi Ant,

Ideally I'd imagine a menu item titled 'Documentation' under 'SCA Java' or
under 'Tuscany SCA'.  Clicking on this will open up a page that lists all
the documentations under SCA Java.  One of the links in that list will
probably be 'Tuscany Architecture and Programming Model'.   Clicking this
will open a page that will have some introductory content and then a list of
links to various aspects of the architecture and prog. model.  One of the
the links would be 'Tuscany Script Implementation Extension'.

So the trail would be Tuscany SCA->SCA Java->Documentation->Tuscany
Archp->Tuscany Extensions->Tuscany Script Implementation Extension.  If you
also think the above organization is reasonable then we probably have to
creating the missing things in that trail.

Assuming we have all that in place then we'd probably have a 'SCA Java Menu
page' and a template page for it.  Right now there is menu page for SCA Java
but we need to whet that a bit.

Having said all that, let me get to what you might want to do for <
implementatoin.script> for now... Right now I have created a template in
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/templates/listpagetemplates.action?key=TUSCANYnamed
'Java SCA'.  Just click on the 'create page from template' option and
a page with the Java SCA menu embeded will be created where you can add the
content.

Hope this long winding reply helps :)

Not sure I understand all this so probably the best way is to try to add
something...I want to make a page documenting <implementation.script> so i
guess that goes in "Java SCA" somewhere and is linked to from
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TUSCANY/Java+SCA+Subproject,
could you give a brief outline of how and where i should do that?
