Mona,

The issue that a lot of people (including myself) have run into is that the
documentation covers where to start assuming you have a pre-built distro.
What we need is a simple blurb in the documentation saying:

*Download the source tar
*Expand it and run bin/mkdistro -DskipTests
*Grab the compiled tar from x folder
*Continue reading the quick-start merrily

Most people are used to projects having pre-compiled tars and I understand
why Oozie doesn't (so this isn't a gripe by any means) but for clarity we
need the documentation to reflect this if this isn't going to be the case
going forward.

The other thing to think about is a lot of us have automation wrapped
around our deployment (or at least we do). I have to keep a compiled tar on
a mount point for baking my AMIs due to the fact that we don't host a
compiled tar on the mirrors.
