Venkata, I think the navigation is indeed improved in your latest zip(once all the links are filled in at least). I had also mentioned at some point being interested in helping with SCA documentation. There is one thing I feel is missing/unclear on the site and the SCA outline above; that is the "getting started" section. Here we have this nice layout of information for SCA/SDO/DAS and download pages, but how do I start using tuscany? I have been looking at this and would like to contribute a section, even if it is just "get started by downloading a distribution and run the samples using their respective readme.html". Do you agree this is needed?
Also I wouldn't mind trying to put together the information(from the list/wiki/and my own input) I find on #4 above. Is any of this work already being done? thanks, Lee On 11/2/06, Venkata Krishnan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Sure yes Ant. For the Documentation, as mentioned earlier, I plan to have separate pages for SCA Docs, SDO Docs. and DAS Docs. Each of these pages will have a list of topics that will further link to separate pages. Here is something that I can imagine for now for this. 1) SCA Java Overview <will will have something in general about how we have partitioned as APIs SPI Core etc.> 2) SCA Java - Extensions <About extensions... Implementation Types, Bindings and the general prog. model around loaders, buliders, invokers> <How to write your own impl. type and binding extensions> <Tuscany Implementatin Extensions> <JavaScript> <Groovy> <Ruby> 3) SCA Java - DataBinding Facility <About DataBinding and its advantage> <How to write your own data bindings> 4) Java SCA Runtimes and Application Deployment <Standalone> <WebApp> 5) Java SCA Samples <Overview of samples available in SCA Java> <How to write your own SCA Application> So I guess, what you wish to do might go into one of the lind uder Topic 2. Please feel free to correct this or fill in if I have grossly missed out on somethings.
