First off, its good to see users helping users on the wiki. I have a suggestion when it comes to component documentation, however, which is that we update the documentation on the website.
We are in desperate need of help in that department. Here is how you can help. Checkout the latest source code from subversion. Update the xdocs used to build the website (they are located in source/documentation/content/xdocs/components.) Use the component-template.xml as a basis for the new documentation. Note there are already place holder pages for the components but the template has changed slightly so make sure it conforms to component-template.xml when you modify it. Important: run the pages through Apache Forrest and proofread them. Most likely you will get some complaints from forrest about your XML until you get the hang of things. You just need to download ApacheForrest, set up FORREST_HOME in your path and type 'forrest' in the build dir. Once everything looks good generate a svn-patch. Please create the patch from the top level of the project. Also, please make sure the patch does not contain your other local changes unrelated to the documentation. Submit the patch and any brand new files (most likely images for the screenshots) to the dev list and a committer will apply them. Screenshots are needed for almost all of the components. Try to use one from the simple examples to make it consistent with what the user will see if they download the simple examples. sean
