+1 I noticed the same thing earlier today. While I fixed some glaring errors,
I'm sure there's a lot more that needs updating.

Great! I think this is exactly what some of those docs need right now.

I'd offer to work with you on this, but I have practically no time until Friday.
And no, it definitely would _not_ be clutter on the list!

Can I make a request? Can you use Tomcat instead? True, JServ is a supported
production environment, but its days are numbered. Moreover, by updating the
docs with Tomcat in mind, they should be easily transferrable to the TDK.

If you're planning to start in the next few days, then yes, Turbine snapshots
are more usable. I'm planning to finish updating the TDK with full DB support
this weekend. Hopefully, after this weekend the TDK will be much less sparse.
Thanks for stepping up to the plate on this!
