Jacques,
thanks for your help!
About the layout; I don't know, but maybe a list based page it is easier
to quickly read:
http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/-Qs
rather than the paragraph based new one:
http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/Kww
Of course, I'm not saying that the original is better, there are a lot
of layout and content improvements that could be done to it.
I'd like to get the feedback from others.

I tried to edit the the "main new features of the month" (aka.
http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/-Qs).
I beginned by adding a point about the new for widgets examples in the Example
component ("Examples of widget usages have been
added")
Then I decided to group by themes using head styles.
After an hour, I finally ended with http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/Kww. Now I'm not
sure that it's better (easier to read and maintain)
than the original.
It's surely easier to edit (less "*" everywhere) in a *real editor* (I use
Scite for Wiki Markups, Confluence drives me creasy) than
the original, but easier to read ?

I think there is some ASF infra stuff for periodic automated builds,
and if we do this we should definitely get something automated setup
to reduce long term effort required...

Here is the content of the original message:
I think that we should provide an easy way to download (by ftp) a
compressed archive to the ones that are just interested in evaluating
the product. *Minimal* prerequisites should be necessary to
download and
run OFBiz in this way so that users with a low bandwidth
connection to
the Internet, and running on a box with Jdk 1.5 installed would be
able
to download (possibly in multiple chunks) a compressed archive,
unpack
it and run "ant run-install".
Of course, as soon as the version 4.0 will be officially released,
they
will have a file to download; however I don't think that the
release 4.0
will be the right version to consider for an evaluation... the
trunk is
the best option and we should encourage people to see it in action.
A simple solution is this: create a weekly or, better (as
suggested by
Jacques), monthly svn snapshot (svn export), then compress it and
publish it somewhere in a very visible area of the main page of the
website; we could also provide a link to the "main new features of
the
month" (e.g. http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/-Qs).
What do you think?
Jacopo
