Hola Ricardo,
great that you are interested in Geronimo and even greater you want to help out
with the documentation !!! ;-)
If you are new to Geronimo that is not a bad thing at all, actually it's the
other way around. You may be able to see things we are missing in the current
doc (or planned) a lot faster.
If there is an area in particular you have interest in you may start taking a
look at the existing documentation, see how that applies to v2.0 and work on a
section in the current documentation. (let's have all the discussions on the
dev list so we all know who is doing what and avoid overlapping).
EJB3 support and conversion tool are not fully integrated yet in this milestone
so most of those EJB related samples are likely to fail. But this also changes
every day as more and more features are integrated.
I personally don't know much about the plugin architecture but it would be a
great topic for discussion on the dev list if you are having difficulties to
get your sample plugin to work. I would encourage you to start a new thread in
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
As for translations, documentation for v1.0 and v1.1 got (mostly) translated to
Español, Polski, Français and I think Japanese. However, given the frequency of
the releases and updates to the documentation itself, I would rather stay away
from any translation effort and focus on new content. That's just my personal
opinion.
All in all, you pick the area you have more interest in, discuss about it on
dev@ then we work a way to get it in the doc. How does that sound?
Cheers!

Hi!
I'm starting to use geronimo and I'm trying to work with 2.0 version
so I'm too newbie but I think I have a good learning speed and I'm
enjoying geronimo. I would offer my help but I don't know where can I
help. May be you could lead me into the right area.
I've made an attempt to port the JMS and MDB sample of v1.1 but I'm
stucked with the EJB, it fails in the deployment. The rest of the
sample works correctly with some version and package changes (and
changing the JNDI lookup). It would be a great sample to add to 2.0
docs.
One of the most interesting sample in v1.1 is the advanced plugin
sample. There are changes in the way plugins are generated and
deployed into geronimo? I've made my tests here with a dumb plugin but
I can't configure car maven-plugin in order to set the destination
repository. I need to work more on that... I think I'm trying to go
too fast for me. It would be great to have this sample in geronimo 2.0
docs.
Oh, I'm spanish so if geronimo project is searching a spanish
traductor, maybe I could help here in my free time too.
Let me know if you think I can help here! Thanks for your work :) I'm
enjoying this app server :).

What you see there is the content I've been working on so far, it is
not a proposal for a TOC. In fact, that is what my note is about,
asking feedback for topics to cover as well as volunteers to cover
some of those topics.
Absolutely, XML schemas and deployment plans should be part of the
Geronimo v2.0 documentation just like how we have them in the Geronimo
v1.1 documentation. Sort of related to the same topic would also be
"Annotations".
On a different thread I saw you guys plan to work on this area
(schemas and plans) for Geronimo v1.2 which is great, I'm taking
granted you are volunteering to tackle v2.0 too, right!? ;-)
My only concern with v2.0, and Dain pointed it out too, some of the
plans will dramatically change throughout the 2.0 development process
as the specifications and additional functionality get fully
integrated, specially in the EJB3 area.
All, what other topics would you like to see covered in the v2.0
documentation? volunteering for some? ;-)
Never is too much info when talking about doc, isn't it!?
Cheers!
