[TYPO3-doc] [TYPO3-dev] v4.0 Docs was Announcing TYPO3 4.0.1

Hello Matthew,

I made a Norwegian newbie manual 1 1/2 month ago. Mostly the same approach 
as you, but with Templavoila. And also I start even more from the scratch 
with installation.

Agree. Use the docs in Subversion as templates. I have one change, used Courier 
New instead of Cumberland on code.

I'm not finished yet, I'm going to write a part two who includes configuring 
BE-users, configuring HTMLArea, Content, Access restricted pages and so on.

I'm planning to translate it, but the days are to short. But if you are interested 
I could make a short overview of the content. Both whats written, and whats 
planned in part two.

Something I feel is important when making a newbie manual. When showing the 
TS code, try to explain what different part of the TS code does. And also 
make references to important documentation. An important part of a newbie 
manual, is also to direct them in a gentle way to the real important documentation, 
TSref, MTB, FTB and so on.


WBR,
