Qpid quick start guide

Hi,
 Qpid docs, seems to be missing "Quick Start Guide" type document.
I can say that from my personal perspective, person who 6 months
ago haven't had a clue such thing like qpid exists and needed to
quickly start with Qpid. To fill the gap I created draft of such
document, currently hosted on:
https://github.com/radeksm/qpid-quick-start

Content of this document covers below points:
    1. Introduction
    2. Installation
    3. Configuration
    4. Running qpid
    5. Running qpid in HA
    6. Testing and troubleshooting

Also here is a jira issue to track this:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-6039

So following Alan Conway advice, he knows this document already
and advised me what to do next, I would like to ask Qpid Community
about feedback and review of this document by people who knows covered
areas better than I do. And maybe we can add this document to Qpid
documentation set at the end of this process.

Yes, absolutely agree. I am going to make sure scope will be clear.

Again, absolutely agree. Logging is very important and it's missing now.

Hi, Radosław.  This is great!  I have a couple high-level comments.

First, we should clarify what the intended scope of this is.  From what I
can tell, the content you have so far concerns the Qpid C++ broker and
related admin tools.  Qpid includes a number of other components (java
broker, messaging apis, etc.), so we should say which are in play for this
quick start.

Second, we should look at your documentation next to the C++ broker book's
intro[1], which tries to serve a similar purpose.  I think you've done a
better job than the broker book of bubbling up the central aspects of
broker usage.  For me, this is an exercise in sorting the things you really
want to know early on in your use of the broker from the things you can
dive deep on later on.  For example, a quick start should tell you how to
perform some basic control over logging but it should not go into details
such as category exclusion.  The latter should be reserved for a dedicated
logging section.

Sunday, what was your main problem(s) you hit during deployment?
Have you installed it as a binary package or you compiled it yourself?

I installed binary package from ubuntu repo

The problem I had was in getting to know the use or distinct definition of each component such as:
proton, dispatch router and broker. The definition in the documentation is does not actually separate each components to where its belong

This step is commendable, I have being trying to get grasp of qpid for some weeks now.
