OK, I'll write up a proposal soon with my ideas on doc organization. You 
and I seem to have similar ideas about what needs to be done.

Some things that wil probably be in that proposal:

A trail map, a table of contents, a to-do list, a clear distinction 
between Manuals and Howtos...

Clearly labelled sidebars for variations in OS, Tomcat version, 
front-end Web server...

Tags for authorship for sections (perhaps with one section per file so 
CVS can help)...

Pointers to existing docs and other sites (e.g. to specific FAQ entries)...
