I would like to have another suggestion.  The jakarta-tomcat-doc repository
should only contains a complete handbook for various tomcat servers (3.2,
3.3 & 4.0).  The handbook should covers sections like Installation, System
Adminstration, Webapp development and Performance Tuning.  (uh, I copy it
from FreeBSD handbook).  Also, a separate developer handbook can be written
as needed.

For specifications and technical notes (for example WARP spec), because it
documents the developer mind and serves as an effective commuication for
developers, I still suggest leaving them in the original repository.  For
how-tos (JDBC/Realms, connectors), I think we just have to compile an index
for it.

Just my 2 cents.

Punky
