Re: [Exist-development] Wikibook and xqDoc

[Dan M. <dan...@gm...>]

Chris,

Thanks for taking the time to do this!  I think that having great examples
of how to do specific tasks is critical for our new users.  I think that
among all the other open source XQuery systems we are starting to get some
better documentation, especially for our beginning users.

Last week Dr. Martin Muller from Northwestern University in Illinois and a
frequent contributor to the TEI lists, challenged us to make eXist usable by
more of the non-programmers in the TEI community.  He sent us 40 Shakespeare
plays in poems in TEI format and wanted us to demonstrate how we would
create a simple system to do navigation and search.

Here is an early demo of what we need to document for the TEI community that
is building navigation and search:

Dr. Muller is willing to help writeup these examples (once he understand
them a bit more) so we might be creating a "Beginners Guide to TEI for
eXist" based on this work.
