-Dummy page so I stop getting bad links. Sorry.
+= General Questions =
+
+== What is Merlin? ==
+
+== Why was Merlin created in the first place? ==
+
+== Where is the official documentation? ==
+http://avalon.apache.org/merlin
+
+== Where are the JavaDocs? ==
+Typically, you don't need the JavaDocs for Merlin. You should only interact with Merlin directly if you are writing Extensions, Facilities and similar system extensions. So if you are looking for the standard interface to Merlin, it is the Avalon Framework, which can be found at http://avalon.apache.org/framework/api/index.html.
+If you '''are''' doing Merlin extensions, please note that the existing API has not stablized yet, and you will have to be prepared to amend your code later for it to work. The Merlin JavaDocs are at http://avalon.apache.org/merlin/api/index.html.
+
+= Building Merlin =
+
+== How do I build Merlin from CVS source? ==
+ * You check out the '''avalon''' module from the Apache CVS repository.
+ * Go to the directory that was just checked out, i.e. '''avalon''', and type ant
+The ant script will start Maven for the five components that makes up Avalon and Merlin, namely framework, repository, meta, util and merlin. After the completion, you will find the build in '''avalon/merlin/target/merlin'''.
+
+== I am getting an error ''unable to obtain goal [prepare-filesystem]''. What is wrong? ==
+You don't have the Meta Plugin installed or compiled.
+
+= Running Merlin =
+
+== How do I start Merlin? ==
+
+== Where is the entry point? ==
+
+== How can there be more than one activation="startup"? It doesn't seems to matter if I take it away. ==
+
+= Extensions =
+
+== What kind of extensions are available? ==
+
+== What is the difference between an Extension and a Facility? ==
