Now you're again (after some other similar passages in other
people's postings) touching that 'documentation' topic ...

I take your point (ease of understanding) regarding installation
support, basic questions and maybe basic parts of the manual
(concepts, architecture, that stuff). 

But I strongly believe it's even more important than to
translate existing (and sometimes a bit outdated) stuff into
German to update old and build new documentation. Never mind
your English writing skills -- as long as you are able to
participate in here, as you all are, you're also able to at
least 'prototype' documentation for an English native speaker to
have another look at.

Not to be misunderstood: I'm not aiming at API docs or so, but
the MOVE project for example (building a new example site along
with a real beginner's tutorial) could definitely need help ->
contact Ken Pooley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for details; and
someone with a better overview of the documentation effort could
surely point you to even more areas where improvement is needed.

I don't want to tell anyone what to do -- it's your time, after
all -- just a reminder that there's some more and maybe more
important work to do ;-)
