This version of the Official PostNuke Installation and Getting Started Guide is the most current, up-to-date edition, and is presented for your review and comment. Please be aware that this Guide is currently INCOMPLETE. Areas that are being worked on now are marked with "OTTO" in the left margin. I am very interested in review of and comment on the Guide as it stands at this point. If you notice anything that is spelled incorrectly, is incomplete, could be explained better, or is just plain WRONG, please let me know at drew@drewvogel.com.

You may not distribute, modify, or translate the document without the prior consent of Drew Vogel (drew@drewvogel.com). The only approved use is review, comment, and personal use.

Once the Guide is completed (which should be quite soon) and through the peer review process, it will be released with fewer restrictions, and in additional formats (text, PDF, HTML, etc). It will also be 'prettied up' instead of being displayed in this ugly monospace font. Currently, I am interested only in the evaluation of the CONTENT, not the PRESENTATION.

Once the Guide is finished, translation will be permitted and encouraged. If you are interested in translating this Guide, please contact Drew Vogel (drew@drewvogel.com).

The document is available to all visitors (registration is not required) from the Downloads section of my website, http://www.drewvogel.com. Please form a single-file line. No pushing.

Arguably one of the best parts of conferences are the Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions. What is a BOF you ask?

BOF /B-O-F/ or /bof/ n.
1.[common] Abbreviation for the phrase "Birds Of a Feather" (flocking together), an informal discussion group and/or bull session scheduled on a conference program. It is not clear where or when this term originated, but it is now associated with the USENIX conferences for Unix techies and was already established there by 1984. It was used earlier than that at DECUS conferences and is reported to have been common at SHARE meetings as far back as the early 1960s.

Given enough interest, we will hold our very own PostNuke BOF at the conference. Topics are up to you! How about some of the following:

• A roadmap for PostNuke
  
• The PostNuke development process: A view from the inside
  
• Why havent you implemented my pet feature yet?
  
• PostNuke gossip
  

If you plan to attend the Oreilly Open Source Conference and would like to see a PostNuke BOF then please comment below. Feel free to suggest topics etc.

Is there any way to have the page title imported from the title of whatever module is being browsed at the time? For instance, On this site to the menu on the right there is a Project Processes menu link. The menu under stands that Project Processes is a link to http://www.postnuke.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=10 Would in not be possible to add this along with or in replacement of site slogan, So that now the browsers title bar would read PostNuke.com :: Rogue Content Management :: Project Processes...? (or without the slogan Rogue Content Management)
