I'm having lots of difficulty understanding FAQ's #52 and #36, but by following links I'm working things out. The Home Page makes clear that this isn't supposed to be a simple tool for the uneducated masses, and I thought I had the skills needed for it (well, I guess I still do think so but I'm having to work harder than I hoped for). I hope that working through this will give me a deeper understanding of what the infrastructure is doing for me and what I'll still have to do for myself.
It would be kind of nice, though, if I had a step-by-step guide that just says, "From the log-in page, click on the menu-bar item that says..., then click on..."
Maybe after I get through this I'll try to write one and send it to Tony to see if he thinks it's useful. I know I hate writing documentation, so I'm not complaining -- really!
By the way, the tutorial mentioned in another thread about using Radicore to set up the Ruby on Rails Cookbook is not very helpful in the PHP context. The problem his is a Java-based program with rather different controls and names on the menu items. I've downloaded the Beta 3 version of his program just in case, but I really would be a lot happier using PHP, since I've had a *lot* more exposure to it.
