ideally, we could converge on a common narrative for german, spanish and
english (the languages i am aware of with existing user documentation
efforts). the forrest i18n functionality might help us there.


Shall we start with a wiki page as mentioned above starting with a table
of contents like:

- intro
- authoring area
- live area
- site area
- admin area
- features
 - scheduling
 - .....
- .......

Hello Jann and Doug

It's a nice idea to structure the documentation in respect of the concerns a new user might have, like it is done in http://wiki.apache.org/lenya/GuideContentEditor. I propose a slightly modified version thereof:

- Overview and basic concepts

- How to access your site
  -- Logging in
  -- What are the tabs at the top of the screen?

- Basic Site Maintenance
  -- How do I edit the text of a page?
  -- How do I keep the metadata up to date?
  -- How do I publish my changes onto the live site?
  -- How do I add a new page, and delete old ones?

- Advanced Site Maintenance
  -- How do I add an image to a page
  -- language versions

- Site Administration
  -- How to add / modify a user
  -- Predefined groups and their roles
  -- changing Access Rights

http://www.unicms.unizh.ch/docu/onlinedoku.html refers to the publication type we use at the University of Zurich and can IMO not be used for a general Lenya user guide. But we can nevertheless contribute to http://wiki.apache.org/lenya/UserGuide.

And then start to add content to each topic
