I think we need two kinds of guides (think of a 'guide' in the broadest possible sense). We need users and developers guide. In the users guide I would look for two things: guide for the most popular plugins (something like this: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/FORGE/Arquillian+Testing ). And then we need a walkthrough for the common usecases (Java EE application with JSF, OSGi application, Forge plugin, etc.). Something like this: https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/FORGE/Generating+a+basic+Java+EE+we... . Of course video sessions are even better :-) The next part is the dev guides. We have some great pages in our wiki (the children of https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/FORGE/Developing+a+Plugin ), but some pictures would be very helpful. What I mean is something that would present the structure of the APIs: for what do you use the shell, the environment, the configuration, the different facets and all the other important objects in the tool core. I say again, the above page and its children are great, but a "big picture" would make them even better. Having said that, I can for sure contribute with manuals and guides. However, I'm not a native speaker, so I would need a review of what I wrote...

This means that we need help creating some new pages in the Forge Documentation If you could spend a little time: • Identifying what information is missing • Creating or editing pages to bring this information up to date Just email the list with what you think needs to be included or updated, and we'll figure out the best place for you to put it!
