I would be willing to put together info that is specific to HP-UX usage.

You know, and I realize the devs are kind of busy, I think if they would 
just incorporate the level of detail and completeness in the more recent 
docs that existed in the 3.x series of TC, a lot of questions wouldn't 
have to be asked.  I find myself wondering, quite honestly, why the TC 
3.x docs explained things so well, and yet the 4.x docs seem quite terse 
in comparison.

You know what would be cool?  ... if a "link repository" were set up 
that would allow us to submit our own "I found this useful" sites.  It 
could allow a person to submit a link - and allow other people to "rate" 
the link according to how useful they found it.  The original poster 
could add a small amount of commentary about his TC/Apache version, and 
his implementation.  Then, newcomers could discern rather quickly where 
to go find the information they need - or if it's even available. 
 Questions would change from, "Where do I get ..." and "How do I ..." to 
"Has this really not been done yet, or is it just not in the repository 
yet?"

Personally, I think that linking 4.x docs to 3.x docs would help a lot. 
 It's anything but obvious you should have to go through the 3.x docs to 
learn to set up 4.x :-)  If, however, they were at least mentioned in 
the 4.0 docs, and maybe linked to, it would be much more easily understood.

Just a thought ;-)
