How to get started?

Peter Kis	Thursday 01 May 2003 2:43:54 am We're currently contemplating moving our website from postnuke to ez-publish 3. So far I had to make the experience that there's close to no documentation on how to get started using ez-publish. To make it short: I'm completely lost. I looked at the demo sites provided - they look nice but fail to tell me how to start from scratch. Is there a good tutorial (for ez publish 3, nor for 2.x!) to help me sort things out? Are there any decent reference manuals? Where does a newbie like me find the information to get his site up and running quickly and painlessly? thanks in advance, Peter
Gunnstein Lye	Friday 02 May 2003 6:07:53 am The eZ publish 3 documentation can be found here: http://ez.no/manual (see the various installation documents, aming other things) http://ez.no/sdk (this contains reference documents, and several tutorials for common issues) This document is recommended for beginners: http://ez.no/manual/about/definitions
Sophi Italy	Tuesday 06 May 2003 11:56:48 pm I would like to echo a recommendation to the devlopment team, on an otherwise superb job. eZ publish looks very promising. If YOU WANT to significantly increase your user base (which may be big already), then please, please, please ... A simpler, clearer "Getting Started" description will help a lot. No one expects polished docs for open source. But if the entry point barrier is set too high you will turn away many likely users. I am fairly technical, don't get intimidated too easily by either configuration or programming, but can get turned off by disorganized or confusing "Getting Started" descriptions. Great job otherwise (is my guess).
Karsten Jennissen	Wednesday 07 May 2003 12:22:58 am Hi Sophi & Peter, have some patience. I know that the docs available are not sufficient for a newbie and the learning curve is a bit steep at the beginning. But version 3 was a complete change in architecture, so therefore the old documentation is not useful anymore. The emphasis for the product had been to release it in the first place, documentation only comes now into the scene. :-) I have started writing a newbie doc at http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/ez_publish_3/terminology_basics/ez_publish_3_for_newbies However I can only work on it inbetween other jobs when I find a minute. You might want to start there and browse some of the other docs at http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/ez_publish_3/terminology_basics and try the official docs. The SDK is actually the most resourceful, I can only emphasise that you look through this. Good luck! Karsten
