[opencms-dev] V. 6 documentation - New book on OC planned

[Ronald Schouten]

I'll look into that. Thanks Paul.

Out of curiosity, would you recommend working with version 5 because there is
more documentation available or are the new features of version 6 worth the
hassle? More to the point, is upgrading from 5 to 6 a royal pain?

Ron,

	No, I do not, but I am aware of certain documentation available on
the web:

1. "OpenCMS Ultimate 'How-To' Guide"
	http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencmshowto/

The OpenCms experts behind that project may know more than I about the 
development of documentation that has been updated for version 6. Here 
they are:

2. http://sourceforge.net/project/memberlist.php?group_id=108264

Perhaps you could email your question to them.

Sincerely,
Paul Bain
