Why don't provide zipped manuals an HOW-TOs?
Hello everybody browsing jakarta.apache.org I noticed that manuals are not
provided as zip, tarballs or pdf, so just a suggestion: Why don't provide
zipped manuals an HOW-TOs of the applications, together with the online
pages? This could allow easy off-line browsing of the documentation.
please tell me if this type of documentation already exists somewhere in
jakarta.apache.org or elsewhere.
regards

Usually because I'm assembling a list of docs for a PDA, or for a company
document server, or whatever :)
But Andrew's right. The docs are generally in the binary downloads.
Website needs improving to make that more clear...

For POI (jakarta.apache.org/poi) they are included with the
distribution. I imagine most other projects do something similar. We
don't provide them seperately because we figure if you haven't
downloaded POI then what do you need the documentation for? ;-)
