I would like to see an Overview section and some more in the 
installation. I may be a bit off-base since I have almost no experience 
but I would love to read the following pages if I could find them.


Overview
    OpenCMS philosophy
    OpenCMS terminology
    Introduction to the OpenCMS application structure and tools
    Introduction to OpenCMS Administration and Security
    Introduction to major features - (lots of forward references)
          Templates
          Search
          XML Content
    Alternative site structures
    Planning and documenting your site

Installation
    Finding and installing the prerequisites (could reference the 
OpenCMS documentation which is pretty good)
    Database choices and  Custom DB Driver Installation/Setup
    Post-installation checkout
    Creating a new site
    Removing OpenCMS documents and non-essential components - What to keep?
    Securing the site - implementing your security policy
    Removing opencms/opencms/ with APache + modjk (or mod_proxy)
    MultiSite configuration instructions
    Load Balancing with Alkacon Clustering OCEE
