Documentation

There is an effort underway to update and prepare documentation for AOLserver 4.0. This wiki will be the canonical source for documentation under revision, which will then get commited to CVS in the doc/ directory in roff format. From there, HTML will be forward-generated from the roff and made available from http://aolserver.com/docs/.

If there is documentation you feel is not complete, represented accurately, or is entirely omitted, please add it to the appropriate place and make a note of it on the Documentation Wishlist so that people know that someone wants it.
