Re: [Exist-open] eXist -> browser (plus Orbeon)

What is the format of the documentation?  Does it support images?  I might be able to help with a few chapters. I'm not an eXist developer but am building a content backend with eXist. So I'm thinking I could help with 03-getting-started and 04-introduction-to-xquery and if you wanted to add a glossary of terms.  Maybe I could help with interfaces as well once I get more skilled in rest.  Also would read other sections and proof/fix as I am able.

I am in the process of writing an eXist reference manual.  This effort got derailed recently due to other requirements for my time taking precedence.

I do have a svn repository for this book.  If others would like to help with the project, then I can give them access to the repository.  Here is the structure of the book:

01-introduction
02-why-exist
03-getting-started
04-introduction-to-xquery
05-other-xml-standards
06-interfaces
07-triggers-and-schedules
08-security
09-fulltext-search
10-instrumenting
11-performance-tuning
12-administration
13-backup-and-restore
14-versioning
15-internals-of-exist
16-development
17-appendix

Mmmmh, I would never define myself as a programmer and I'm not one by
education. Being a programmer is just necessary if you want to realize
your ideas. And it is the feedback you get from the community which
keeps you going.

With a strong background in the humanities, I have some affinity
towards writing (though my native language is German, not English) and
love to do it whenever I have the time. But that doesn't help if
people ask for bug fixes, features, performance. Sometimes it is as
simple as this: those who pay my bills (the eXist users!) determine
where the journey goes. It rarely happens that a company or
institution asks for better documentation (though - some time ago, one
institution supported me with a technical writer, and this was a very
fruitful relationship).
