[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Is there a resource for initial setup

[Steve Wills]

Hi Vicki!

There are several documentation initives in the works but as of now there is not a comprehensive Administrators setup guide.  
The best place to start is http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php in terms of a repository of pages for admins.   Asking questions in IRC and on the lists helps me a lot.
It also flags what documentation we need to produce the soonest.

We are collectively working on this and could always use more help!

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Is there a resource for initial setup

We are a public library working on converting to Evergreen Open-ILS.
We've installed 1.6.0.3 and have a staff client running. As a team, we
have experience with Linux, relational databases and vendor supplied
library automation systems.  But everything about getting the
information, records, etc. for our library into Evergreen seems to
require hours of wading through documentation plus trial/error ...
mostly error ... figuring out what (if any) of it applies to our
situation.  Does anyone know the location of an overview of the setup
process?  I'm looking for something step by step - maybe like 'Evergreen
For Dummies'

All suggestions will be appreciated.  Plus you can have the joy of
knowing that you helped with what we think will be the first Evergreen
library in Louisiana.
