Tomcat install walkthrough - make of it what you will

2001-09-04 Thread Bill Patterson

I wrote this for my own use, and would like to contribute it as a (maybe)
useful addition to the tomcat documentation. Can't really figure out where
to send it (just making suggestions doesn't seem to be possible without
joining mailing lists), so I'm going with this.

I apologize if this isn't the appropriate place to post this.

Maybe someone could set up a high-volume junk/suggestion email address for
people like me, people who want to be helpful but don't have time to waste
figuring out the right way to do it? I understand wanting to filter out
people who are just being stupid and not bothering to look around, but I
spent a significant amount of time trying to figure out how/where to submit
something and just ended up feeling frustrated because I didn't find any
alternative to jumping through hoops. I ended up feeling like hey, screw
it. If they don't want my help I have better things to be doing with my time
anyway. Isn't the idea of open source to not make people feel like that?
