The big problem with the Ant manual is the people who wrote it knew

Well, I actually like the Ant manual just the way it is. I find it
very useful and I get pretty much what I need from it. So please don't
force it to change.
Now, that said, I am in favour of the creation of documentation more
directly targetted at the first time or still quite new user. There
are a number of introductions to ant, but something that would take
it's time and that explained the concepts would be very useful.
One thing that would be useful (and has been discussed on the dev list
recently), is a set of presentations that can be used to explain ant to
an audience. An introduction to ant would be one of the presentations,
effective junit another, ... etc.
these could be both tutorials and things that anyone can use to explain
ant to others.
contributions welcome.
