Should the wiki have something about getting started in Beehive?

[Rotan Hanrahan <Ro...@MobileAware.com>]

The wiki could be a good place for documenting how to get started in Beehive. Although my colleagues at work are Workshop users and are regular users/creators of Controls, that's not my focus(*). So I decided to start with nothing and build up, piece by piece, an environment that will let me get, build, modify and test Beehive, and ultimately move my observations/suggestions/modifications back into the Beehive community.
 
Rather than continue to share my observations during this early stage via short bursts on the mailing lists, perhaps it would be better documented in the wiki. That way, others can contribute their experiences too, and our documented mistakes/successes will help others to avoid/replicate them.
 
I looked at the other Apache wikis, but couldn't find a good example of what I'm proposing, though some of the pages in the James project seem close: http://wiki.apache.org/james

PS I'm also a wiki novice, so this is going to be doubly interesting...
 
(*) My focus is device/content/workflow metadata - how to represent it, change it (dynamically) and use it within the a multi-channel (multi-device) occassionally (dis)connected environment.

  Yes, absolutely!  We've just had the wiki setup, and you're right -- 
there's not much content up there yet.

  There will be a bunch of stuff getting up there soon about how to 
download / build Beehive (focused on the Beehive dev) and how to use 
Beehive (focused on app developers) for Controls, NetUI, etc.

  If you've got something you'd like to put up there, feel free and it 
will just evolve as we go forward.
