[opencms-dev] Newbie documentation

[David Goodenough]

I am a newcommer to OpenCMS, and I made the mistake of reading the
documentation before I installed the code (and thus came across the
demos).

I was further confused by the presence of many google results which
refered to earlier versions of OpenCMS - my impression now is that life
has changed a lot since those were written.

From the documentation I got the distinct impression that updating the
template was a matter of modifying JSP code (which I am fine with), it 
was only when I looked at the demos that I found out about templateTwo
which seems to eliminate (for simple uses like mine) all need to change
the JSP and means that I need to look for the _config_ directory and
fill things in there.

Has anyone written a 7x getting started (I can only find 5.x and 6.x ones)
which goes through from once you have installed the code to a simple
site being usable from a browser?  This would be really useful to newcommers
like me were it to exist.

I have worked out where I tailor the heading and footer, but I am having
problems understanding the setting up of the basic site separate from 
all the demos, documentation and release notes.  

I have found the "Newbie guide to getting started with OpenCms 6.0" guide
at http://opencmsnewbie.netfirms.com/, which seems simple enough,
but it is written to 6.x not 7.x, and I get the impression that life got
even simpler with 7.x.
