Hi All,
First off, let me begin by saying that from what I have seen so far, this is truly a beautiful product, and once I get it working, I would not mind donating to it. That being said, it may be sometime before I actually get it working.
Anyhow, being new to A2B, one of the biggest hurdles I have found so far, is the somewhat lacking documentation. Yes I agree there is a setup page, but honestly, it reads more like a treasure map, than an actual how to (no offense). I agree with
a.rehman, that some Component Diagrams, or Flow Diagrams (or any diagrams) would be helpful. After all, let's face it most of the user on this forum, will most likely have a technical background, and will probably understand such diagrams.
Another thing that I found to be lacking were directions on how to setup a Distributed Installs. If you are looking to setup one Monolithic system, then the directions are fine.
In my experience, most enterprise systems are usually separated out into different tears, across different boxes, allowing for the distribution of the various components.
For example, some documentation outlining the components for the Client (UI), Business Logic, and Data Access Layer would be a big improvement. In addition to this, I believe it would be helpful, if items such as the install location for PHPAGI were documented somewhere. In the existing documentation, it just says included...not really sure what that means??? Perhaps it means something for TrixBox user, however, there are those of us who are building our systems from source....
Finally, I think it would be a good idea to have some Stickys for all the n00b, to help us get started.
Thanks,
Razor
