I can volunteer my skills in publishing to handle page layout and
conversion to
Acrobat electronic versions. 'Fluffy' documentation is the key for successful
expansion beyond gearheads to people who RTFM, and then are still mystified.
What would be useful is:
- complete well laid out docs
- examples, starting with 'Hello World' to a large project
- step by step instructions for using JDBC connectivity to MySQL,
Postgress
- a complete file list w/common setup under Red Hat, Debian etc...
Couple that with instructions of how to get Visual Cafe, JBuilder or other off
the shelf, low cost Java development tools working with JBoss, and many more
developers would roll out projects using J2EE.
Frankly, not everyone can 'read the source' or even manage the command line to
get their job done. Plus, we need to provide examples of how this technology
will help Joe Average save his company money.
Weblogic's price includes the support that will help Joe Average's project
succeed and keep him from getting fired. If Joe recommends JBoss and he
can' t
make it work, the $10,000 he saved will not help him.
Love or hate Red Hat, I didn't get hooked on Linux until I found a product
that
had an easy one disk install and a manual to tell me how to use it.
