[opencms-dev] Creating A new site

[Ron Wheeler]

Thanks for the link. I am sure that this will be helpful.

I suspect that the biggest problem getting started with OpenCMS is 
learning the vocabulary and underlying philosophy.

The OpenCMS Gui is very neat but I have not found a document where the 
structure is explained. Creating a new site seems inordinately obscure. 
Perhaps it may be simply because we do not understand the way that we 
are expected to proceed and the end result that we are expected to attain.
I am pretty familiar with mod_proxy so perhaps I should look at that as 
the "normal" way to get around the  visual awkwardness of /opencms/opencms.

We are most familiar with Eclipse as an IDE and use it extensively for 
every type of software and document development from RIAs to marketing 
brochures. We have not tried Netbeans and I am not sure that we have the 
brain space left for 1 more IDE.
