MINA 2 documentation is far from being perfect, and we need to offer a better odcumentation to our users. I'm quite lost here, I wonder if we should not keep the documentation on a wiki for leveraging crowd edition. The current CMS is great for editing the static website (even if it's suffering some NIH syndrome) but for extensive user-guide documentation it not helping users to contribute (e.g. fix typo). The contribution barrier is too high ! Even with Apache confluence where you need to have a CLA (and an account). I think we should switch the user-guide docs to a low barrier wiki. I'll work on the release process fix next week, I'd like to cut a M2 asap. I think we could cut another release now :) Thanks !

Which also requires a login and a request to be added to the ContributorsGroup (or a full-time Wiki spam remover). Might be worth considering using the Commenting app as used by httpd, for example: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/configuring.html#comments_section I'll work on the release process fix next week, I'd like to cut a M2 asap.

MINA 2 documentation is far from being perfect, and we need to offer a better documentation to our users. Any thoughts on how to arrange documentation this time. I am going to work on few examples and can put doco's for the same. I'll work on the release process fix next week, I'd like to cut a M2 asap.
