 RUNNING TOMCAT
 
-From the unpacked RAVE distribution directory, execute the startup script from Rave's bin subdirectory, either startup.sh (linux/unix/osx) or startup.bat (windows). To shut down tomcat, run either shutdown.sh or shutdown.bat, also located in Rave's bin subdirectory. Tomcat logging and error messages are in logs/catalina.out. Unix users can follow output with tail -f logs/catalina.out.

 KNOWN ISSUES
 
-This is a very early release of Rave that the developers hope will prompt greater participation from the Apache community.  Currently there is no way to administer accounts or add arbitrary gadgets or widgets through the Web interface.  For a comprehensive set of developement issues, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/rave.  Rave has also not been extensively tested on a range of operating systems and browsers.
