Just a small note: It would be helpful if you could provide the SAR as a separate download instead of only packaged up inside the zip. I was trying to create a scripted install of OB and it turned out to be a pain because it's zipped in addition to sar-ed ;-)
Aha, that makes sense. So you'd like to see a plain SAR as well as the ZIP? I had hoped to have a single distribution, but perhaps that's not feasible. The text files that are included now aren't a big deal, but I plan to add a directory of HTML documentation as well. Here's some options:
1. Have separate downloads for users and integrators. The user- oriented artefact would be a ZIP file similar to the one in 2.0.3, while the integrator-oriented artefact would be a SAR with just the code.
2. Have a single SAR that includes the documentation as well as the code. Installing would write the documentation out to disk.
3. Have the documentation reside on the web, and just include a URL in the SAR.
4. Have some sort of in-image documentation rather than HTML.
Thoughts?
