Ewan,

That would be greatly appreciated. 

>a) someone will advise where I should send/post it

To the turbine-dev list, to this list, or directly to me, criley@ekmail.com
. It also doesnt matter how skeletal it is either, it will be improved
incrementally, so dont be scared to create something basic that can be added
to. Publish early and publish often :)

1.Create a simple schema with a few tables
2.From either torque or the tdk build component, build the om and peer
classes for your <projectname>-schema.xml.
3.Create a layout and navigations in Velocity for the UI
4.Create Actions and Screens so you can populate, edit and delete data in
your tables.
5.Anything else that you think is useful in getting started in development
with the TDK.

>1.Create a simple schema with a few tables
OK - have a few mySQL databases from my current project.

>2.From either torque or the tdk build component, build the om and peer
classes for your <projectname>-schema.xml.
OK - presume I did that by running newapp and then editing the properties to
specify an existing mySQL db before running build-project? Not too sure
where to look to see these peer classes however. In
C:\tdk\webapps\[appname]\WEB-INF\classes\org\mycompany\[appname]\om I see
only 4 classes: BaseRdf, BaseRdfPeer, RdfPeer, Rdf. Doesn't look very
promising!

3.Create a layout and navigations in Velocity for the UI
Damn - was hoping I might get some basic screens autogenerated from the db!
(well my webapp system autogenerates JSP pages for each object...)

4.Create Actions and Screens so you can populate, edit and delete data in
your tables.
OK - so this requires coding. Anychance of a clue as to what classes I
should be extending for this. (Hey if this is really all documented don't be
shy about telling me where to go, but I didn't see it).

5.Anything else that you think is useful in getting started in development
with the TDK.
Well I plan to write an easy to comprehend 'test drive manual' for
developers who are (a) as thick as me and (b) work on Windows rather than
Unix and generally in a GUI rather than CL. (Shhhh - yes there are still a
couple of us left!) Not that those issues should make much difference but I
wont be giving any instructions like "just use GZIP - d
C:/aaa/a/a//sd/d/d/d/ - t - b - f34 -s no comile etc :-;
