Re: Tomcat Book

Hi all,

I set up a mailing-list:  tcbook-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
not to annoy the normal mailing list with too much off-topic traffic.
Everybody interested, please join. 
Maybe we should stay on the normal list for some time though, to 
get the maximum number of interested people.

Thanks,
	A.

I'd be interested in at least proof-reading. I'm not a great author, but 
I think the whole Tomcat, Apache, JBoss interconnection could use some 
good, published documentation. I'm SO tired of having to deal with 
multi-thousand dollar licensing agreements for "support" reasons.

I'm an excellent programmer, but I'm too busy to learn the code and help 
that way. Reading and trying the examples are another thing all together.

Even if I, personally, am not useful, although I'd like to be, I 
certainly support the idea and will not mind the extra traffic on this 
already busy list.

If I may make a suggestion: Make it readable two ways. Chapters that 
explain the basics (e.g. this is what JSP is) and chapters that are very 
technical. Perhaps even two separate volumes/sections. There is nothing 
more annoying to an expert than having to wade through paragraphs 
explaining what a loop is to find the one pertinent syntax detail and 
there is nothing more annoying to the novice than showing them a BNF and 
giving no detail.

Good luck in the endeavor. I have issues with the Yahoo management, but 
I'll re-register (I wrote and told them to cancel my membership) and 
subscribe to your group.

Armin:

How does one subscribe (I could guess at using SUBSCRIBE email-address but
I'm lazy sometimes. :-)
