There are some known idiots that frequent the list, and those of us who know what we are talking about will generally reply to useless posts and indicate that they are useless. I'm sorry if someone steered you in the wrong direction. > Would it make sense to post: > - resources I found for the virtual host challenge Any time you solve an issue that you posted to the list, you should post-back with your solution. Then it makes it into the list archives and people can search them for answers (though they often do not). > - an illustration what is wrong with the TC documentation > using what it advices about virtual hosts Certainly. Tomcat is a community-build and community-supported product. If all anyone ever does is complain, nothing improves. Volunteering to identify specific problems and suggest fixes is how this community grows. > I start to wonder whether architectural defects in > TC start making life difficult for: > -- volunteer/ developers because the code starts 'fighting back' > and the documentation suffers Note that all developers are volunteers, though some have employers who pay them to be volunteers. It's kind of a cliche that OSS has crappy documentation, but let's face it: documentation is no fun, and nobody's paying anyone to do it.

I'm not sure the level of bafflement quite reaches as high as you suggest. > My summary of a week of watching the show. I've been watching the show for years, and most people who come here get real help. Many of them stay and help others. Still others end up contributing directly to the project. You could be one of them. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk4DmeUACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBzPACcDKeGO3SJweecvfEbiuWjcQcP eEIAnjVHlKgBU8s4A/8FrhrKNKuBR9z1 =cjoq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
