Hi Ashish,
this is great news !!! Thanks for your interest in contributing to the project
documentation.
Documenting these topics will certainly help addressing some of the usability
issues.
Welcome aboard!
Cheers!

Hi,
I have prepared following list of tutorials *(developer guide)* items.
Initial task will be two work on two items from each bullet. This will
enable to cover most of the topics initially and later the concentration
will be on increasing the count of articles in each category.
Each article will start with basics of each API used and later step by
step explanation of the application development. This will enable the
developers to find all the information and references at one place. This
will in turn help to improve the Usability and Consumabiltiy of Geronimo.
The timeframe for the complete list will be around 6 months considering
the fact that it involves quite a good amount of learning. Although the
initial task will be to complete 2 articles in each category.
The environment will be AG 2.1, GEP 2.1, WTP 2.0.1, Eclipse 3.3 SDK and
Windows XP.
The list is as follows:
*Java Server Faces*
Developing a web application with JSF.
AJAX with JSF.
Using JSP Immediate Expressions to access JSF.
UI development with JSF.
JSF application that created, deletes, update and delete operations
against database t tables.
*Web Application*
Web application for JMS access.
Web Application for EJB access.
Web Application for JDBC access.
*Application Client*
Application client accessing EJB.
*Web Services*
Building JAX-WS pojo web service
Building JAX-WS EJB stateless session bean web services.
RESTFUL Web Services
SAAJ Web Services
MTOM Web Services
WS Addressing.
*Annotations*
JAX-WS web service and client using annotations.
*Java Persistence API*
Using Java Persistence API in application client.
Working with JSF and JPA.
*EJB*
Stateless Session Bean
Stateful Session Bean
Message Driven Bean.
Container Managed Persistence with JPA
Bean Managed Persistence with JPA
Regarding Portlets, Geronimo extensions there is still more info that
needs to be collected.
Please provide you comments and suggestions.
Thanks
Ashish

Yup, checking the latest updates it seems like we are heading in
that direction.

We generate the release notes from the wiki so we can keep them here
or move the file to maybe GMOxPMGT space.

GMOxDev has lot of info and not all up to date. It wouldn't hurt to
have the 2.1 specific build info under GMOxDOC21. I mean, the more
the merrier

Agreed, screen captures will become an issue, even for updating
future releases. It's just that some times a screen shot saves you a
lot of typing.
Good comments, keep it coming !
