If you can do the work to incorporate the information you've built up into our actual documentation repository, that's the best option. We want there to be a single place people go to learn how to install and setup CouchDB 2.0.
If not, you can provide the HOWTO document to us, preferably with a JIRA ticket suggesting the info be incorporated into the installation documentation, and we'll make a best effort to get the info into the real docs. Thanks again for your help!
