Hi Jacques, like most pages on the wiki I didn't even know that one
existed - sorry...

(there
is also a backlink from FAQ 1st paragraph)
3/4: I created the FAQ for this reason, but obviously we can't put all
in/from the FAQ
It's hard to organize an open wiki, I tried many times but, as it's
open, quickly things move and you have to begin again...

Hi Babu,
1) I found this very frustrating too.
2) I requested the site to be indexed by google, but in the meantime
I always do my search from the search box on www.ofbiz.org.
Make sure to prefix your search term with 'ofbiz' so you don't get
back stuff from all apache projects.
3 & 4) I was amazed at how much stuff gets repeatedly answered on the
forum. My contribution is that I put a page on the FAQ
whenever I get help clarifying how to do something.
Cheers,
Chris

Hello,
this is my first post to the group, and learning Ofbiz the hard way
(debugging through code, following the Beginner's Development Guide,
Packet
book, Data modelling etc.). Though everyone desire to have more
documents
etc, it is amazing the contribution mainly by few individuals. Few
things I
noted,
1. rather than the lack of information, I was stuck with the mix of
old//outdated and current info, which lead to distrust and extra
effort. 2. The documents are not indexed correctly, and cannot
navigate from the
main wiki page. I got the below link through another website, during
google
search.
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/How+to+Setup+a+Company
not sure how relevant, but the point is it is wasted effort by the
author,
and someone needed the info.
3. It is amazing the level of help people get through the forum. I
have seen
almost all questions were answered on the same day. At the same
time, it
would be much effortless if we had a properly indexed documentation.
Rather
than explaining things over and over, we should be able to point to the
correct section in the manual. It also help many people, if the mentor
doesn't see the relevant information in the document, to add the
content
himself or raise a (Jira) issue for that.
4. I myself collecting information regarding the data model, making
notes
during my learning etc. It would be easy for me to add the content
if we
have a skeleton of required information as mentioned by Matt. It
would be
great if someone senior in the group can just start with an index page.
thanks,
Babu.
